Note to self: purge records. Religiously.

You can't hand over what you don't have.

One more reason (other than data breaches) for why services should look for ways not just to minimize storage of records and data on users that they don't absolutely need to provide the service and that alone, but also to offer users way to encrypt the data with their own key.
These records only exist because there was a previous court order to start taking them.
