alt Hacker News> Mega-corporations should have their communications logged at a much higher level than a normal business.
I agree. But, it needs to be balanced by making the penalties for companies engaging in vexatious and/or abusive litigation and vexatious discovery tactics very, very harsh. Megacorps would dislike both of those things happening to them, so we'll never see it.

Megacorps are the leading practicioners of abusive and vexatious litigation, often against small litigants who can't afford to defend themselves.
It does happen, ex. the financial industry is famously subject to the logging, and you'll see most startups take their first big leap into the enterprise by adding complete logging specifically for many who implement that.
I worked at Google between 2016 and 2023 and I feel embarrassed by this. I knew it was wrong, but just said "oh this must be what being at bigco is like." We were an exception.
