Google said it will start deleting inactive Google accounts on December 1, with Gmail, Photos, Docs and Drive content all in the purging crosshairs. With 1.8 billion Gmail users and even more when it comes to Google Photos, this will impact many people. As I reported previously, even if just 1% of accounts get deleted, then between 18 and 20 million will be affected. While many users are undoubtedly worried about this move, and I urge everyone to check their accounts as a matter of some urgency now, Google maintains that user security is behind the move. So, I thought I’d ask the security experts if that checks out.
