Everyone is required by law to divulge information that helps a court case upon request by the court. The process is called subpoena. And yes, you can go to jail if the judge thinks you deleted something because of the fact you thought you were going to get subpoenad.
- const_cast 1y agoThis is true, but practically not relevant. If you store data in clear text, then there is risk there. If you don't, then there is much less risk. Not everything is the same as everything else. I would never write my passwords in clear text and send them all over the internet. But, somehow, when we talk about SMS and Phone, this concept is lost. Again, there are E2EE services available. These can be subpoenaed, but there's no data available. In addition, there are automated surveillance methods such as Prism and whatever modern-day equivalent certainly exist. Me personally, I would not be surprised if all your texts are surveilled en-masse, no warrant or subpoena required. Again, that's only a risk if you use SMS or other clear text services. So, don't.
