I'm curious about the consequences if Google deletes your account after being inactive for two years. Specifically, if I didn't have a YouTube channel or have had one that was deleted, will Google still remove my account if I maintain a social media presence elsewhere?

Having a social media presence doesn't protect your Google account from being deleted if it's inactive. The rule is pretty straightforward: if your account sits idle for too long, it gets deleted, no exceptions.
No offense, but this information isn’t exactly secret. Google actually provides a detailed FAQ about what counts as activity and exceptions to the deletion policy. You can check it out on their support site for the full scoop.
But how do deceased users still have a social media presence if their accounts are inactive?
That’s kind of harsh! What if someone passes away? They might want to keep their memories alive.
