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

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.

Closing arguments are scheduled for Thursday, and the judge has not yet made a decision. Legal experts note that while it is highly unusual, there are no rules prohibiting a defendant from contributing to closing arguments in a civil case.
