Although this seems so be a good intention, I question:
do the regular conversations _not_ belong to yourself?
- TomMarius 7y agoThey're open to be grabbed.
- luddep 7y ago(I work at Quill.) Of course! We take your privacy and security very seriously. Your regular conversations are absolutely yours -- your messages by default are encrypted in transit and at rest. For user's that want extra security, we plan on offering e2e encryption for direct messages and groups (and maybe eventually channels). There are some tradeoffs with e2e encryption including scalability, search, history, and just the ergonomics of using it, which is why we call out that distinction specifically. (But, we can see how current wording may be a but obtuse -- we'll tweak it.)
- johnbellone 7y agoDo you have transit and at rest encryption now?
- ahuang 7y ago> Your regular conversations are absolutely yours -- your messages by default are encrypted in transit and at rest. (I work at Quill too). Yes, absolutely! That is just table stakes when it comes to security for your messaging experience.
- paxys 7y agoIf they are primarily stored on a central server that you don't control then no, they don't belong to you.
