**CLAIM:** *Google Just Announced a "Digital Death" Feature at Google I/O That Will Automatically Delete Your Gmail, Google Drive, and YouTube Accounts When Your Phone Detects a Lack of Heartbeats for 48 Hours.*
CLAIM: Google just announced a “Digital Death” feature at Google I/O that will automatically delete your Gmail, Google Drive, and YouTube accounts when your phone detects a lack of heartbeats for 48 hours.
FACT-CHECK: FAKE. No such feature was announced. The supposed “leak” originates from a satirical blog and a doctored screenshot of a fictional “Project Eulogy.” Google has confirmed no biometric death-detection system is in development. While Google I/O did introduce new AI health monitoring tools (like sleep apnea detection via Pixel Watch) and a “Help Me Delete” feature for redundant data, nothing connects heart rate data to account termination.
