A bit of a hyperbole on this. Slack is allowed for example, but only the enterprise edition which allows for them to meet compliance regulations.
This sort of policy is pretty typical at any organization of size with a proper legal team.
- JMTQp8lwXL 7y agoI wonder if Slack lets organizations do on-premises (for compliance purposes, as you mention) e.g., as GitHub Enterprise does (many companies don't want to keep their raw source code in someone else's cloud).
- xchaotic 7y agoThey don't have such a product yet
- JMTQp8lwXL 7y agoKind of surprising, to be honest. Business communication could be more valuable than source code to a bad actor.
- heavymark 7y agoThe enterprise version they note is secure enough but still discouraged because it’s less about security and more about perception. Why would customers want to use the Microsoft equivalent if even their employees don’t.
- eganist 7y agoIt's definitely not just hyperbole. "Microsoft bans Free Slack" would've been accurate. "Microsoft bans Slack" is actually false.
- dang 7y agoOk, we've made Slack free above.
