Hacking "near" service closed?

[OperationNT]

Hello everybody,

This morning, "near" application says to me "This service is no longer available." (translation from the French message) while I tried to synchronize it.
I don't think it is releated to the error "E-80558325" because 3 days ago, I was still able to use it.

Am I the only one in this case?
Did Sony kill this service? Or is it an issue only for hacked PS Vitas?

Thank you for your help!

Wouldn't be surprised if Sony did kill it off.
I wasn't using it anymore, prevention of data to be sent to Sony.
Think the cause of the banwave was also due to Near

Sony began to end support for Near in April 2015. First they deactivated maps and youtube, then the rest.

I did that, but ain't gonna erase video music and photos, they could be of some use

Thank you for the article link.
"On 31st July, 2017*": ok, it exactly matches my latest use

I won't be surprise to see a new firmware update soon to remove it from the interface: I am a big fan of stabilities updates which remove features...

That was like Sony's response to Streetpass wasn't it? Never worked for me since it gave me people in Ontario and i live in Québec
