Excellent post. Cost to service the 2019 LE requests was > $1m though, substantially beyond the work of one paralegal. One other thing to mention is that people who receive these requests should authenticate them through a second channel before producing.

Several things contribute to the cost. Older business with 8+ years of data, millions of accounts, high security around accessibility of personal data, the good stuff is all encrypted and hard/slow/impossible to search/export in bulk (upside being its that way for hackers too).

Sure thing. Another issue is that requests are handled in high wage markets rather than exported/outsourced to low wage markets. It could probably be 1/10 the price if we eliminated all concern for security/privacy.
