I would assume that they retain the data and are just hiding it from public view. That way they can fulfill one of their organizational goals, trying to prevent useful or accurate information from reaching the public, but still have the ability to respond to a subpoena.
I used to work for a company with a product for putting a legal hold on people’s accounts. It archived the data off to a safe place, with a signature so you can tell it wasn’t tampered with. By default, it kept things six months, but as soon as it ran, you’re free to delete the public copy
I know it’s absurd. Even if I had proof of something illegal, I have zero authority to do anything about it. I’m just venting because I’m annoyed, and I’m sick of Musk’s constant bullshit.
It helps establish a motive for the killer, which is very important in a court of law. Knowing why someone did something affects sentencing, for example.
Here’s a fun read for you: functional illiteracy. It’s the phenomenon whereby a person is capable of “reading”, as in sounding out words, but functionally incapable of extracting meaning from them beyond the painfully obvious.
I have the opposite happen to me with Chinese, like I know 危高电压 means “danger high electric pressure (voltage)”, but have no idea how to sound it out. Dysfunctional literacy? 😄
Destroying evidence is a crime. Put the fucker in prison.

I feel like I should laugh at this, yet not.
I wonder if subpoenas get the poop emoji back when they are sent to Twitter.

Also, it had to actually be evidence of a crime. Following Elon may be a bad-look association but it’s not likely related to any crimes
You might be right, but trying to apply logic and reason to Musk’s behavior is always a gamble.

That’s a bit absurd. In what way is this evidence? Evidence of what crime?

Are you illiterate?
Wonder how many illiterate people know the word “illiterate”… 🤔

Haha, I think that’s usually just called “learning a language from books”. My magyar (Hungarian) suffers from a similar issue.
