What happens if someone is in prison for a few years and can't access their email?

    This is a good reminder to designate someone access to your accounts if you don't log in after a set amount of time (and now less than 2 years). If you die and someone is relying on you to pay the bills or whatnot, they will need access to that information.

    You can also have it set up so that all your data is wiped.

    What kind of prison doesn't have a computer that you can use every now and then?

    Do you think they have open internet? Gmail?

    Looked it up, nope, some shitty pay per message bullsit system.

    Generally speaking if the question boils down to "will this humanize anyone who isn't white upper class" the answer in the US is going to be "no that's not something we get" (but if you want a worse version of it we'll gladly sell it to you)
