In the last few months:
- Tumblr purged adult content (and a bunch of stuff it misindentified).
- Flickr purged free storage above a limit of 1000 photos/account.
- Myspace deleted 12 years' worth of music.

And Google+ only has two weeks left before Google pulls its plug.

Back up your accounts!

And if you can, consider donating to the Internet Archive. https://archive.org

Using the Google+ news to make a point about attack surface: Your old online accounts can put you at risk even if you're not using them anymore.

Taking it a bit further:

Does the account still have access to anything else? Unlink it!

Do you use the same password anywhere else? Change those passwords!

Does it have private information on it that could be used to impersonate you on another account? Think about whether you still want to keep it around.
