Comment on OCDSB seeking court order in bid to unmask anonymous 'redditor'.

Supporting after-the-fact problem investigation is one big one. If your incident-reponse SLA is one working day, you need to keep the data at least that long.

Yes, but that’s not the only reason. It’s also done to track users; specifically to detect ban evasion and such things. Detecting DDoS attacks or scrapers might also be a purpose. Your instance only gives the first as a purpose, though. EU sites are legally required, per GDPR, to disclose such things.
I don’t know how I should reply to this level of aggressive ignorance and willful disinformation in a way that does not appear arrogant.
