It is if you don’t have access to the conveyor. Otherwise, you’d be liable for documents lost due to acts of God. He can still be in trouble if they can prove he used signal specifically to avoid disclosures during discovery.
- ceejayoz 4y agoSignal deletions aren't an act of God. Upon receipt of a preservation order, those Signal conversations should've been preserved. Give an intern the task of screenshotting them all. The same rules apply if, say, you delete email after 30 days; you have to pause that process once you've been required to retain evidence.

- matt-attack 4y agoHow can they know or prove that he was even texting with Signal? How do they know those messages existed?
