Google has issued initial warnings regarding inactive accounts, those untouched for at least two years. In three weeks, the updated Inactive Google Account Policy will come into...
Google will begin deleting millions of inactive Gmail and Drive accounts in December::undefined
Unless you have a smuggled device you aren’t getting access to gmail or any other email in prison. They have their own monitored communication systems that charge the inmate absurd amounts of money to use.
Generally speaking if the question boils down to “will this humanize anyone who isn’t white upper class” the answer in the US is going to be “no that’s not something we get” (but if you want a worse version of it we’ll gladly sell it to you)
I see it’s normal for me. If an account is inactive, the user perhaps has created another account or not using Google services anymore its money saving if we consider all personal data, ie 15 Gb per user, which are stored and maintained without reason.
Yeah, people went ape shit when they deleted YouTube accounts that weren’t active for years. If you don’t use something and aren’t paying for it, what right do you have to be like “keep this around, even though I’m not using it and it costs you money”?
The good news, as others said is that Google claims that Youtube channels wont be affected, however I aasume that over time they’l go that rought as more people start to stream in 8k or beyond. At some point they are going to have to delete older content as hosting it all isn’t cheap. As big they are Google can only go so far for preservation when they keep boosting streaming video quality options.
the point is… are they going to rid of old content from an erra that less people remenber or current content that increasingly more people are likely to watch willingly to get ad revenue.
in order to save on costs they are wanting to rid of older content ultamately one year of videos on Youtube can easily save gbs of storage and costs, right now they are starting with gmail but at some point I predict they’l adopt it to Youtube.

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
What happens if someone is in prison for a few years and can’t access their email?
What kind of prison doesn’t have a computer that you can use every now and then?

They have limited access in Finland
Do you think they have open internet? Gmail?
Looked it up, nope, some shitty pay per message bullsit system.
Well, they do have access in Finland, don’t know about US

If that’s the case. They probably wouldn’t know this. And if they eventually do?… they probably forgot their passwords.
Data harvested. Time to move on.

The downside is that Google won’t let you keep them active without jumping through hoops
Good, fuck Google.
Yeah “fuck these guys for trying to save money by cleaning up stuff that hasn’t been used in years!”/s
They’re just doing what any other company would do.
If you could engage whatever functioning synapses you may possess, you might realize that this indicates that fewer people are using Google shit.
Or people are just creating new accounts because they didn’t like the name of the old one, you bozo.
