   "I don't have a phone number, it's data only and my house doesn't have good reception" is what a number of ex-colleagues used when asked to be on-call at companies that asked for it, but gave you nothing for it. For

   Most tech companies make use of short retention policies for this exact purpose. 18 months to 2 years by default, otherwise anything longer goes through an exception approval process.

   PayPal wouldn’t open themselves up to that risk. 100% the type of shit I see consultancies pull, especially smaller ones or regional ones. Any with HQ in US wouldn’t risk it. Unless the 2 contacts from each company had a personal vendetta a

   No, they get the user information now - before any charge is made in New Zealand to justify providing access to the data.

    Australia and New Zealand are near the top on that list. Libel and defamation is a very commonly sought after legal means of silencing an organisation, entity or person. In Australia it's been weaponised by politicians already: https:

    dang, can Nick Mowbray and Anna Mowbray, the founders of ZURU, compel News.YC to hand over my information if I wrote a poor review of their company in a scathing Tell HN?

    I'm not for it, I'm just saying - it's trivial. I was in your position, kinda - spent many weeks "searching" but "found nothing". They fired them anyway.

    DNS records of your VPN or corporate work station would be pretty easy. You can line then up with when the review was posted. Then investigate their workstation more "thoroughly".

    Zuru's entity spans multiple regions, a Californian court can compel a US-based entity to hand over records for data held in another region. It's the reason why some organisations refuse to work with any organisations that can be

    Uhhh, if you have LinkedIn Navigator, check ex-Slack engineers. Everyone who was pre-IPO without many RSU's has already left. Management has already left, in true Salesforce and Oracle fashion they'll be pushing Salesforce VP&#x27

    Same as it did 10 years ago. Same as IBM's garbage in the 90s. Only difference now is the IDE is both prettier and slower, there's more testing, and there's way more interfaces. The solution to the problem never got better, i
