Retro active datasets are commonly court ordered. Laws aren't retroactive, but all court proceedings are retrospective.

Googles 100k assertion here is bullshit. They did a calculation that handing that data over, or even just collating it, would leave them in a worse position than fighting it.

To be fair, they could get the cost down to $74k if they had a woman do the research.
