Why would good in mid 2019 know it had to save chat data for use in a lawsuit not filed for over another year? And why would such a lawsuit require saving all chats between everyone? Should google also have started video recording all in person meetings or stopped throwing out any trash in case there was something in those bins too?
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 4y ago> Google’s duty to preserve documents began when it reasonably anticipated litigation. According to the company’s privilege logs, beginning as early as May 2019, Google began withholding materials “compiled in connection with ongoing DOJ investigation.” The United States then issued its first Civil Investigative Demand (CID) to Google on August 30, 2019, and issued two subsequent CIDs in October 2019. If I'm reading this right- they allege that Google knew because they had already began withholding some materials and were issued 3 CIDs.
