I meant for the sake of data protection, not for forensics. You start with all ones and gradually deplete your ability to write ones over time in electron charge memories such as SSDs.

This is not about companies following best practices but about what is going to happen when some of the supposedly deleted data pops up again, as it eventually will.

Will a judge that is clueless about how computers really work consider that as a GDPR violation or not ? As deliberate or not ?
