Google has announced that it will begin deleting data from inactive Google accounts, specifically targeting Gmail data and photos.

The decision to delete data is driven by security concerns as abandoned accounts are more likely to lack 2-step verification, making them susceptible to compromise. Despite initial confusion, Google clarifies that the purge does not include deleting YouTube videos. The policy change has faced criticism, with some expressing concerns about accounts of deceased individuals.
