Wow. The default search function is about to get royally fucked by the EU because of that last slide.
If only Google had set file retention for slides to 24 hours like they do chat.

That sounds like it should be illegal. Would it be illegal? (I'm not a lawyer).
In the days when everything was on paper, keeping everything around was expensive. Do you really need that memo from 10 years ago? How would you even archive and store it? Deleting it makes sense, but you need to be sure you aren't hiding criminal activity. Or at least don't have the intent to hide criminal activity.
So companies have rules like "delete everything after a year"--there is no intent to cover up a crime. But as soon as you become involved in legal proceeding, you have to start saving stuff.
It gets complicated fast, but that is the basic rule.
