don’t care that it’s for inactive accounts, this is a disgusting purge of culture. spam email is one thing but imagine all the literal irreplaceable memories stored. don’t give a shit about their storage costs, it’s google. sort it the fuck out.
edit lol keep weeping for a trillion dollar company. i don’t use this garbage, i have no files i’m losing.
I’m all for bashing them for their shitty practices, but let’s be honest here. If you care about your memories, all you have to do is login once and they’re safe. If that’s unreasonable, I think that’s a you problem.
It’s also Google. You probably shouldn’t put anything on it that you’re not expecting to go away in a few years when the service shuts down.
At the very least, have a spare copy somewhere that isn’t likely to get wiped out.
You make a funny point. https://killedbygoogle.com/
But GMail isn’t going anywhere. There are surely very few more valuable places to harvest user data than reading all their emails.
Still big agree. Have a backup. Don’t trust corporations.

Mail likely isn’t going anywhere. A lot of corporations rely on Google workspace.
The EU is forcing them to do this as part of the GDPR. Google isn’t allowed to store personal data for longer than is required, and an account that’s been inactive for 2 years is very likely an account that will never be accessed again. Therefore, Google has no legitimate purpose to store that data, ergo they must delete it.
So dead people mostly.
If you don’t care to login in two years, maybe the memories are not that irreplacable…
Your email account isn’t a backup store.
Are you Google shareholder? Tell them.
It’s RGPD laws.
Or GDPR in the English speaking world.
Oops forgot to translate it lol.
