Just curious why this would be a legal decision? I can't think of any reason that keeping messages would be a bad thing.

  You’re doing something wrong and don’t want it to be subpoenaed?

    Its more about messages taken out of context or a banter about a competitor between 2 random ICs getting highlighted in a big case.

    I believe the way Slack works is that old messages are kept but hidden unless you pay. So someone could still subpoena the old messages.

  If you are only required to keep data for one year and you keep it for 2 years, you can still be subpoenaed for that 2 year old data if you keep it. Thus, keeping data for longer than you are required is an increased business risk.
