Loses "access to" the data. The data is still there, they're just waiting for a court order.

Why should they have to get a court order when the party in custody said they have the data? Unless they don't actually have the data and they're hiding behind the court.

Holy reading comprehension and assumption creep!
Nobody said that it was OK. But losing data and losing access to the data is clearly not the same thing. That’s why this clickbait headline decided to say the former instead of the latter, because it sounds worse.

Such data should never be held by a third party unless it is one of several duplicates.
I keep photos on Google and MS but they are short term storage only and never the only copy.

I've kept all photos on iCloud since decades; there's too many to move elsewhere and keep updated, but the local copy on my Mac is regularly backed up to a Time Machine disk.
