|Deletion of accounts which are not logged in for a long time. Companies and services claim that they're doing that in order to conserve their resources and comply with privacy laws.

Why include: Adverse effects on user accessibility, convenience and historical integrity. Users may be forced to not log in to their accounts for a long time due to various reasons such as medical issues, prison, internet shutdown in totalitarian countries (i.e. Afghanistan), and other unforseen factors such as the 2023 Hamas hostage crisis and being trapped in scam factories in Southeast Asia for a long period. Furthermore, accounts of now-deceased persons are affected as well, which would mean dire implications for historical integrity in the short and long term. In the age of deepfakes, lies and misinformation are just as likely as to arise from the absence of data than the presence of it.
