Is it illegal for them to delete messages? I had always been under the impression that FOIA only covered government.
Comment on Trying to avoid antitrust suits, Google senior executives told employees to destroy messages

And again, that should result in jail time for all of those executives and all employees that actually destroyed messages
JAIL THEM, JAIL THEM NOW, JAIL THEM LONG
This sort of shit behavior will never end and only get worse until we, instead of hand slapping, start jailing these fuckers.
Jail a bunch of CEO’s for breaking the law and watch how fast they start behaving.

If it’s about internal messages about illegal activities, yes. In a court case, during discovery, internal messages may be requested.
The idea for this asshat is that if those particular messages are missing, then that evidence is gone, making it tampering with evidence.
Normally that would result in a victory for them but if it comes out that they deleted relevant messages, like right now, then normally that would be very bad. If it were me, I would probably go to jail over that.
However, this is the US and it’s about some rich asshole, so probably nothing will happen

Either of us deliberately destroy data: locked up.
Company exec does the same: slap on the butt and a $2 fine.
We should all be on the same playing field!
