[ga] Judge Orders Deleted Emails Turned Over

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

vinton and all,

Well Vint, hope you saved those emails!  As you know Vint ole
some very interesting ones going back a few years that the
DOJ and the Federal Trade Commission will be interested in,
eh?

In a lawsuit brought by the Federal Trade Commission, a subpoena
sent to Google orders the turnover of the complete contents of a
Gmail account, including deleted e-mail messages. The Judge
has granted the subpoena and orders that [1]all e-mail messages,
including deleted messages, be divulged. Google's privacy policy says
deleted e-mail messages 'may remain in our offline backup systems' in
perpetuity. It does not guarantee that backups are ever deleted. So much

for the Delete Forever button.
