The problem you mention is different, and the severity is as high as the most sensitive content that's been posted.
As is the case with most chat platforms, the technical safeties put in place only serve to protect _legitimate_ users. The problem you're referring to is a matter of _illegitimate_ users or _insider-threats_.
* What if I copy-paste a sensitive conversation to a third-party?
* What if I export conversations or user accounts to a third-party?
* What if I grant an unauthorized party access to a conversation that they wouldn't otherwise be able to see?
In-transit encryption and encrypted storage do not solve these issues, because an insider threat inititated the action.
