Privacy is an underrated advantage in Slack apps

2•alance•2h ago
Maybe more of a big deal should be made about the flood of internal private company information that can pass through to third-party Slack app developers?

I suspect most that install Slack apps aren't aware (or don't care?) that their entire list of employees and Slack profiles can get shipped out pretty easily. Anyway here's a little blog-spam on it, enjoy.
