Because it's still perfectly reasonable. You simply cannot keep data forever. At some point you have to start removing old unused data. It is just not sustainable. I don't agree with complaining about every single thing corporations do just because they're corporations. Let's complain when they do actually unreasonable things.

Religion and longtermer philosophy get thought and agency policing really fast. It’s funny it’s often political traditionalists who seek preservation but refuse to point out the established socio-political norm that obliges humanity to specifically back up dead peoples hard drives.
- hsjqllzlfkf 3y ago> You simply cannot keep data forever. I wonder if the data that they're collecting for targeting advertising is also being deleted, because you know you can't keep it forever, right? Oh that's right, of course they're not deleting that. Stop parroting corporate talking points.
- paddim8 3y agoThey keep that as long as it's useful. At some point they're going to have to start removing old data there as well, but it's probably mostly text and numbers. This is just pure whataboutism. Explain to me how keeping a ton of data forever is in any way realistic? How would you go about doing that?
