Slack’s administrators can read DMs without consent

[Kargai]

Just read that news which is pretty scary if you are a Slack user.

Seem that this option was already available on Slack but that you received an alert telling you that your DM's were consulted by someone else. Now it's totally transparent. That's available on the Slack’s Plus and Enterprise Grid plans.

But even on the basic plan admins can request an access to the data export tool, so they still can access your stuff if they compell to some of the demands of Slack's team.
