>When I was an attorney and involved with these kinds of subpoenas, we always worked with the third-parties to make document production less burdensome for them.

Question:

Is meta's lawyers bound in any way to treat simulaVR the same way you treated your subpoenaees?

I don't even care if they do, or would, the question is, are they legally bound to do so? If not, that's a systemic issue.

I suspect the answer is no they aren't, and the burden is on the subpoenaees to convince the court to limit the burdensomeness of the subpoena, which is itself a burden that is unacceptable.
