How is this legal? Why isn't there a 'Preservation of Evidence' law?

There probably is, however they're not keeping the communications on public display.
Which is good policy. There may be motives behind it to obfuscate the identities and ideologies behind the attacks, but one thing that was repeated for years in regards to spree killers is 'don't make them famous'. The Christchurch killer's video went viral and it became standard for psychos to paint memes and slogans on their murder weapon, even if they held diametrically opposing viewpoints.
The correct solution isn't to hide everything about them. It's righteous that the motives should be known. The correct solution is to mock them as pathetic and embarrassing losers instead of portraying them as fearsome.
Yes, but if we want to prosecute him properly, keeping everything out there just makes it more difficult for them to do it. We are righteously fucking angry about him, but right now let the faggot get processed.
I just hope at the end Utah sends him to the firing squad and we get to see it.
The news invented this because they feel bad about collecting money on these broadcasts. There's no actual sense or study behind it at all.
They MURDERED people. Who gives a fuck they paint their guns? Is that the problem?
I know that would be the human interpretation, but actually think about what you're saying? The news has no trouble lying through their teeth and outright fabricating stories for a quick buck. There is zero chance they feel guilt.
More likely reasons are:
Whatever the reason is, I can assure you it's not because they "feel bad."
How long ago did they invent this line?
Where specifically did it come from?
Are you sure you understand the context here?
It's demonstrable copycat behaviour, from people who ought to hate each other. Which proves these psychos inspire other psychos.
It's demonstrable deepstate behavior.
Cover up plain and simple.It has nothing to do with not making the killer famous. They did this with a smalltime UK shooting and when people found what youtube deleted it contradicted the vermin in the press.
The stuff that gets deleted is stored - I know it's irritating we can't see it on our end, but their stuff is archived/backed up on many, MANY servers. The government simply needs to file a subponea and they'll get to see it.
Pretty sure the fifth columnist in the FBI will take care of that for them.
I think people are webscraping the hell out of everything right now
What's public and what's stored are different. A strong argument can be made that 'nuke fucking everything' is actually the best course of action. It helps mitigate tainted juries and if you're talking about what should and shouldn't be laws the top priority is the operation of the system to adjudicate when laws are broken.
Feel free to disagree but there's no way a "keep prejudicial evidence that may not even be allowed into court out there for people to be blasted with when the jury should be coming in with no preconceptions". We don't live in an ideal world, we live in ours.
It's about copycats.
