Ah gotcha. In this case it's not actually that you are hiding away and doing all your work via DM. You're just using it for smaller discussions and then circle back with the larger team to share info. That totally makes sense. I w

“The vast majority of what is required here are things that we’ve already had for years across the world for everyone.” My understanding is that GDPR would require a deep delete of user data from Facebook's systems. Anyone have info on
