Text takes very little space, so I don't think it is mainly about storage costs.
I think they just want to save the data migration costs.
They want to sell it to AI companies, so they need to make sure they can’t scrape it.
Heo the hell do you scrape private chat logs? lol. Get a grip.
You cannot sell active data without explicit consent but what if data that has been "deleted" accidentally gets shared with a 3rd party 🙈
