#2Previously, you could only see employee DMs if you turned on Compliance Exports, at which point you could download all of them going forward. Now it sounds like everything you've ever written could be downloaded at any time without notice.
So, all of those communications you had with co-workers based on the promise they would be private until you were notified future ones wouldn't be anymore? Now it's ALL available to your employer.
Surprise!
(This is presumably due to GDPR)

Meh. Nobody should be surprised by any of this in the slightest. If your employer provides / pays for any kind of communications tool, the only sane position is to assume that they can - and probably do - monitor every single byte you send.

This is not completely true. Been able to pull DMs via the Discovery API.

Exactly. I'm surprised they couldn't before.

#8Do employers have the same tools with email?
Yes. You can access Outlook365 and Exchange via APIs as well as Google Apps for Business.
Plus Calendars, etc. Anything that uses LDAP locally and now through the 365 APIs.

why presumably due to GDPR? I would think it was a possible GDPR problem for them in the future. Specifically, you wrote it based on expectation it was private and now it is not, when did you give permission for sharing that data?

The smart people will have anticipated this, and their message logs will paint them as good for the company.
