You, apetresc, and I are all unusual users - we're thinking about this in terms of network connections. Our first instinct is to figure out which parties in the chain could have stored a copy of the message. The typical user will probably just rely on clues like "private" or "direct" and make assumptions from there.
The privacy level of these features can and will be misinterpreted. Read a few legal cases where employee communications are exhibited; you'd be surprised what people say on internal platforms.
- goatforce5 12y agoAny employee is a fool for thinking making permanent records of things using company resources will remain private. You're on holiday or otherwise unavailable and someone needs some details for some obscure project you're working on? Crack open their email! Those accounts and everything else belong to your employer and if it suits their purposes to go poking around your email or IMs, then they will.
