When your "mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful," it feels deceitful & dishonest & shitty to go out and delete a good fraction of that information. There's so much unintentional data loss here, people who are going to be so sad and mad. The shared photos grandma sent us a decade ago will all just die. Those of us tending deceased accounts will have to forever juggle a yearly ritual of carefully logging in to all relevant services. Eventuslly time will win and Google will delete the enduring digital part of our family trees. This is such a monstrous shitty awful turn. So far the Google graveyard has largely been Google projects. It's such a darker more bitter twist to me that Google is trying to put some of the enduring surviving bits of grandma in the grave too. What an wretched twist from 2023.
