Sure, OpenAI, I will absolutely trust you.

> The content covered by the court order is stored separately in a secure system. It’s protected under legal hold, meaning it can’t be accessed or used for purposes other than meeting legal obligations.

That's horse shit and OpenAI knows it. It means no such thing. A legal hold is just a 'preservation order'. It says absolutely nothing about other access or use.

OpenAI's other policies, and other laws and regulations, do have such requirements. Are they nullified because the data is held under a court order?

"The judge and court need to view this information to actually pass justice and decide the case" almost always supersedes other laws.

The GDPR does not say that you can never be proven to have done something wrong in a court of law.

Right. The GGP says the information could be used for other purposes.

why is it horse shit that OpenAI is saying they've put the files in a cabinet that only legal has access to?

They are saying a “legal hold” means that they have to keep the data but don’t worry they’re not allowed to use it or access it for any other reason.

A legal hold requires no such thing and there would be no such requirement in it. They are perfectly free to access and use it for any reason.
