Google+ was NOT hacked. They found a software bug that was not actually used by anybody for any nefarious purposes.

Makes a big different difference when considering data protection laws. Once you think about it, you realize this was a fairly commonplace security bug patch, and Google made a big deal about it so people would accept the service shutdown more readily.
