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

Once the raw emails have been fed into their ad targeting system, the content of those emails loses the vast majority of its value. Storage is cheap, but not free and inactive accounts have particularly low value. So of course they'll delete the data.
Ahh this makes more sense... I would think they would still keep the raw data... Never know about future use cases.
