I've talked with DHS about this before, and they said you would have at least 30 days' notice. Most likely, from other conversations and don't quote me on this, they're going to wait until your annual review before making a new decision. When in doubt, call the state helpline. They don't tend to have wait times, and my experience has always been friendly and helpful. Let them guide you. You don't have to do it on your own.

Reply to comment by fastornator in US says Google routinely destroyed evidence and lied about use of auto-delete by OutlandishnessOk2452

Some laws define necessary record keeping for certain tasks, such as tax info. If you have been instructed to preserve documents of a given type for a given legal case, you preserve that until after discovery at the very least. You might want to preserve it longer for your own legal purposes in that case. People can also be interviewed or subpoenad. It's not about storing it indefinitely. It's about being legally instructed to store it, saying you are, and then not storing it. Google specifically said it suspended auto-deletion but didn't. Google lying is the important part.

Google was notified. Google was told to preserve records and stop auto-deletion. Google said it did. Google kept auto-deletion running during discovery. If you want to play semantics instead of discussing Google's lying and destruction of evidence, then that's up to you.

From the article:

US: Google falsely claimed to suspend auto-deletion But the DOJ says Google repeatedly provided false information to the US about its chat-retention practices:

The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure required Google to suspend its auto-delete practices in mid-2019, when the company reasonably anticipated this litigation. Google did not. Instead, as described above, Google abdicated its burden to individual custodians to preserve potentiall>y relevant chats. Few, if any, document custodians did so. That is, few custodians, if any, manually changed, on a chat-by-chat basis, the history default from off to on. This means that for nearly four years, Google systematically destroyed an entire category of written communications every 24 hours.

All this time, Google falsely told the United States that Google had "put a legal hold in place" that "suspends auto-deletion." Indeed, during the United States' investigation and the discovery phase of this litigation, Google repeatedly misrepresented its document preservation policies, which conveyed the false impression that the company was preserving all custodial chats. Not only did Google unequivocally assert during the investigation that its legal hold suspended auto-deletion, but Google continually failed to disclose—both to the United States and to the Court—its 24-hour auto-deletion policy. Instead, at every turn, Google reaffirmed that it was preserving and searching all potentially relevant written communications.

Hopefully no one in the US general population needs to get it. As for the other strains, this is where mRNA vaccines will shine. They're quicker to make and development can start as soon as you have the virus's genetic sequence. Also on the upside, we have a president that was involved in the previous Ebola outbreak.

All these tropical and emergent viruses are time bombs. That monkey pox, a virus we were watching, managed to become endemic the world over and that we lucked out noticing that, signals the countdown has started.
