Ask HN: Can a subpoena be used to compel a company to collect future data?

Specifically, if previously x data wasnt collected, can a subpoena be used to compel the company to implement collection?

You so, SO need to ask a lawyer on that. One who is deep in the relevant legal specialties, in your jurisdiction, etc.

And be prepared, at least mentally, for a complex and conditional answer.

Oh gotcha. I was seeking a general answer because of the pypi subpoena.
