    Google will start deleting those personal accounts, which have been inactive for two years, from this week.

    “December 1, 2023, is the earliest a Google Account will be deleted due to this policy,” it added. This policy only applies to users’ personal Google Account.

    The company said, “this policy doesn’t apply to any Google Account that was set up for you through your work, school, or other organisation”.

    Google when announced the policy, explained that if an account hasn’t been used for an extended period of time, it is more likely to be compromised.

    “This is because forgotten or unattended accounts often rely on old or re-used passwords that may have been compromised, haven’t had two-factor authentication set up, and receive fewer security checks by the user,” it added.

    Twitter bans over 44K accounts for policy violations in India







    New Twitter owner Elon Musk on Friday said the company will delete and free names of 1.5 billion accounts that have been inactive for years on the platform.

    “Twitter will soon start freeing the name space of 1.5 billion accounts. These are obvious account deletions with no tweets and no login for years,” said the billionaire.

    Musk also said that the micro-blogging platform is working on a process to inform the users whether their tweets have been suppressed under a process known as “shadow banning” and they can appeal against the ban.

    He added that Twitter is also working on a software update that will show your true account status.

    “So you know clearly if you’ve been shadowbanned, the reason why and how to appeal,” he mentioned.

    The “Twitter Files 2″ revealed that the micro-blogging platform, under a secret group, made controversial decisions, including “shadow banning” high-profile users without informing then CEO Jack Dorsey.

    “This secret group included the Head of Legal, Policy, and Trust (Vijaya Gadde), the Global Head of Trust & Safety (Yoel Roth), subsequent CEOs Jack Dorsey and Parag Agrawal, and others,” said Bari Weiss, Founder and Editor of The Free Press, in the new “Twitter Files.”

    Twitter had earlier denied that it did such things.
