If both person who direct message each other do not rat, do the company they work at (who pay slack) can access direct message?
Do Slack rat their user to their client ?
Nothing is private on a device you don’t own.
HR showed me screenshots of a private chat during a harassment suit, so no, it is not private.
Rat their user to their client
Assuming you actually mean “Can the client review messages sent on the platform they pay for, so their employees can use it”, yes, they can. Same for MS Teams.
Why do you think that is “ratting”?
If you are concerned about what you are messaging a colleague, it probably shouldn’t be messaged on your employer’s chat platform.
Nothing you do at work, on their network and software, is private
Data exports start with their business+ plan If they’re running that or Enterprise the admins can pull whatever they need.
You can obviously pull stuff through legal request without any difficulty for any plan.
Yes, slack makes private messages available to admins, though it can vary by country laws
Rule 5. Locking.
You should assume that they’re not private since E2EE is not an advertised feature.
Even if it was, employers have all kinds of software running on employee workstations, some including keyloggers and screenshots, etc
I heard at an old company that being able to read DMs was an extra feature which needed to be paid for, and that my particular company didn’t have it.
That didn’t sound right to me. Especially if the employees could be misusing company property by bullying or selling drugs to each other or something. Surely there would be some legal liability they’d need to cover themselves for?
Need to paid for features that help you spies on your employees:))))
