Eh, unless there's current ligation forcing record retention, just having a really short retention period is an easy enough solution.

Didnt Sundar ask disappearing messages to be turned on on an internal communcation tool ?

HN uses rel="noreferrer" on all links so perhaps this is no longer an issue?

HN turned off referrer globally, so that no longer happens.

I believe so but from what I recall, he still wanted syncing between phone/computer which required the messages be stored at some point, alebeit with an extremely small ttl (minutes? seconds?). This miniscule retention meant the record was created despite a low ttl and so when the record was removed, it became a violation of the court-ordered record retention. Again, this is all just from fuzzy memory but I think that's how it approximately went down.

I’m pretty sure everywhere I’ve ever worked has notified me that there is a legal hold on deleting my communications. And I’m just a simple programmer.
