“I would expect employees to uphold those instructions.”

Pichai roundabout agrees with Epic lawyer Moskowitz’s question that, as far as he knew, Google was preserving all its relevant chats following legal holds.

Now, he’s being presented with that time he asked for history off himself (see below), meaning that the rest of the conversation was automatically deleted after 24 hours due to Pichai’s request. He says he was working on a document for an external event.

Moskowitz is pointing out that Pichai didn’t just ask for history off — he also seemingly attempted to delete his request, which makes him look guilty.

He says he didn’t recall deleting it and is attempting to suggest it was a glitch.
