10 or 30 seem shorter, no? I don't have anything to say about 10 or 30, but 90 seems too long in my opinion.

I understand the need to keep logs to thwart abuse, but with longer lengths you're just helping law enforcement.

Sure they're shorter, but wherever they draw the line somebody like you is going to complain. Putting myself in their shoes I don't see any reason why you wouldn't complain about 30 days (even if you really wouldn't).

90 days cannot be to thwart abuse because...? And helping law enforcement is inherently terrible because...?
