American lawyers accepted the "office SORM"
The introduction of the new rules is reported by the AP agency with reference to the lawyers who track this topic. The corresponding instruction was adopted by the administrative division of the US Supreme Court a long time ago (as early as April, after five years of discussion). It was just that companies were given time to prepare for the innovation, to purchase the appropriate equipment and software for monitoring and archiving data.
New rules provide for the mandatory storage of copies of all electronic documents, including e-mail, IM messages, and even copies of conversations in web chat. Corporations are obliged to track the traffic of all their employees, extract the above texts from it and save them on a separate carrier. Alternatively, you can periodically scan employees' hard drives and extract saved copies of conversations from there.
True, companies are not obliged to store absolutely all electronic documents, but only those that are relevant to the activities of the company and which may be needed in court. That is, the personal negotiations of employees can be safely removed from the archive (although in some industries the rules are more stringent - they may not allow this)
Residents of "Habra" know that the adoption of the new rules was initiated after a well-known scandal, when the collusion of companies manufacturing memory chips ( Hynix and Micron ), which conspired against Rambus , was exposed. The evidence in court was the electronic correspondence between the sales staff of two companies who illegally tried to force Rambus out of the market.

Naturally, there are those who like the new legislation. These are mainly manufacturers of specialized software for tracking and archiving text communications, manufacturers of corporate IM systems and workflow systems. The latest generation systems not only archive all documents, but also conduct a linguistic analysis of each message in real time, and then give out statistics to the bosses: which employees most often spoke about “risky” topics.
As always, lawyers go a step behind technical progress. While all advanced companies are already translating internal communications to voice VoIP communications, lawmakers have only turned their attention to text chat. Apparently, the new rules do not mention the recording, indexing and storage of VoIP sound files . But if legislators are consistent, then in the future they will adopt such rules. So manufacturers of specialized software can now begin work in this direction.
