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.
