That question formed the undercurrent to a busy Tuesday event at which the internet search giant unveiled several new consumer gadgets, including updated Pixel phones, a smart display called the Home Hub, and a tablet, the Pixel Slate, with a detachable keyboard. The event followed by just a day the revelation that Google had put the data of 500,000 people at risk because of a bug in a developer tool found in its Google+ social network.

Google said it discovered and fixed the bug in March but decided not to disclose the vulnerability because the flaw didn't meet the company's internal "thresholds" for informing the public.
