You were so close. It’s compelling OpenAI to retain data they also have the right and technical ability to delete. It removes OpenAI’s ability to protect privacy if they wanted to.

It does not in any capacity prevent OpenAI from transferring everyone, globally, to zero data retention. This entire story is OpenAI trying to deflect the cost of its own decisions to the judiciary. Which is particularly shameful given the partisan attacks our courts are currently facing.
