I mean, they don't automatically delete your account and messages after 5 years. They did get fined for this.

But I don't want them to do this. Keeping my messages is the service they are providing to me, the customer. I would be furious if they nuked my account as the regulator suggests. This isn't like advertising companies hoarding data indefinitely, because it's actually in the users interest. It's a shame regulators choose not to see the difference
