Same as every online service. There's always admins (even on Twitter of course) who can read the DMs (unless you have proper end-to-end encryption).

There might be a papertrail(that can sometimes be edited if it's centralized and you have sufficient privileges) but there is much less "regulation" than you think. Nobody from the government comes over like some kind of health inspector to make sure Employee 93457X isn't spying on people.
