Google faces sanctions and legal setbacks in privacy case.

A federal judge in the ongoing trial between Google and Epic Games has suggested that Google should face sanctions for its practice of deleting employee conversations after a certain period of time. Google has left the decision to keep chat history up to employees, resulting in the judge stating that Google has “adopted a ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ policy for keeping messages, at the expense of its preservation duties.” The judge has yet to decide what sanctions Google should face, but has ordered Google to cover the attorney fees for Epic as regards this particular issue.
