Lois Lerner emails reveal gaping open-records loophole - Washington Times

Of 17 agencies surveyed by The Times, just two said they had policies
requiring instant messages to be stored as official, searchable records.

One agency said it doesn’t allow use of text or chat, six agencies said
they didn’t have specific policies or were working on language to cover
modern technology, and another eight agencies did not provide any answers
about their policies despite multiple requests.

“We are disappointed, though not surprised, to hear that federal agencies
don’t have policies in place to protect this type of information from being
destroyed,” said Emily Grannis
