Smells like desperately trying to save on storage costs.
It's incredibly cheap, no way they don't have money for storage. They should fire their CEO instead lol
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.
You cannot sell active data without explicit consent but what if data that has been "deleted" accidentally gets shared with a 3rd party 🙈
Heo the hell do you scrape private chat logs? lol. Get a grip.

They probably looked at Facebook's latest dumpster fire involving hauling data outside of the EU and decided to just not find a workaround.
It's called doing the Elon. Or "musking"
Musking: the act of becoming an ouroboros of shit producing self consumption.
How a about "coming in and stinking up the place"?
We have to email dictionaries till they add that!
