Updates on Google Account Deletion Policies
Two quick updates regarding the deletion policies I've been discussing:
1) Google has confirmed to me that account names will not be reissued
after these account deletions. Good.
2) While their original announcement yesterday said that YouTube
videos would be deleted when accounts were deleted under this policy,
Google has responded to concerns about YouTube videos and has now made
a statement that "At this time, we do not plan to delete accounts with
YouTube videos." Obviously this leaves some related open questions for
the future, but is still great news.
