I definitely studied that ISPs aren't universally required to retain data, but I wonder if local laws might change that.

I feel like there was a practice question about data retention laws that mentioned the European Data Retention Directive. Maybe that means there are some requirements?

I'm not too confident about this. There are a lot of different factors to consider, like national cybersecurity laws and how investigators use the data. I'll have to make an educated guess on this one.

Haha, I bet the IT guy who wrote this question is just trying to trick us. Of course there are laws about this - how else would they catch all those hackers?
