I'm sorry Slack, you're doing fucking WHAT with user DMs, messages, files, etc? I'm positive I'm not reading this correctly.
@Quinnypig Oh yeah, I'm sure that the people who use the tool specifically made for internal business and work comms are all thrilled to find that all of their comms are being logged by an external service, amazing stuff!
@VileLasagna @Quinnypig I mean, this is why you can’t use slack at many government and military companies, because all that data is sent to remote servers.
This isn’t surprising at all that slack would try to monetize this.
When I worked for a telco, we had our own (shitty) internal chat system for exactly reasons like this
@tjc @Quinnypig We used to "pay for stuff so that you get security and reliability" but now paying for any service is the quickest way to get the worst version of that thng AND get robbed in the process
@tjc @Quinnypig Slack, Windows, Google Meet, Dropbox, basically all streaming services....
Paying for any of that is a direct route to just getting screwed over, it's simply the worst option
