> Seems that a judge does not understand the impact of asking company X to "retain all data"
You can count on the fact that the judge does in fact understand that this is a very routine part of such a process.
It is more like the users of ChatGpt don't understand the implication of giving "the cloud" sensitive information and what can happen to it.
It might surprise many such users the extent that the data they casually place at the hands of giant third parties can be, and has routinely, been the target of successful subpoena.
As an illustration, if two huge companies sue each other, part of the legal process involves disclosure. This means inhaling vast quantities of data from their data stores, their onsite servers, executives laptops. Including those laptops that have Ashley Madison data on them. Of course, part of the legal process is motions to exclude this and that, but that may well be after the data is extracted.
