They plan to delete accounts with no recent activity, including data from all Google properties. The only exception is YouTube for some reason. The wiki page is simply out of date.
- kelnos 3y ago> The only exception is YouTube for some reason. I wonder if they made a big list of the old content that would get deleted under their policy, and decided that some of that actually still brings in enough ad revenue to be worth keeping. And it was easier to just keep everything than make carve-outs to the deletion policy?
- dehrmann 3y agoI'm sure that's part of it, but content on Youtube is also more discoverable (despite Google running a search engine), and the platform is more active.
