Did Google really just say they'll delete accounts "together with all data"? ๐

Yes, according to this.
If you read it closely, they say they "reserve the right to" delete the accounts/data after 2 years of inactivity. They don't actually say they will.
ohhh now this makes more sense than the misleading headline. they're just saying "we wanna keep your data, but we also don't wanna be liable in case us having your data ever becomes a problem to us, so we reserve the right to get rid of it whenever we want for no reason and claim we never had it in the first place
Do you really think they deleted or they just cut your access?
Oh, they said that they will:
