A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I hope this doesn't mean they will be opening up the email addresses for use after they delete/clear them

I think that would be a security nightmare, so they probably won't (and they'll probably be forced to not do it if they try)

When deleting a Google account, they warn you about your username won't be reclaimable. So I assume this will be the same.
