Is it known how Rippling obtained information about D.S.' Slack activity? Does Slack provide this information or did Rippling obtain this information by running third party monitoring software on D.S.' machine?


Slack has a ton of auditing controls built in to the enterprise version: https://api.slack.com/admins/audit-logs-call#channel


Don't see anything in there about searches?


The complaint goes into a lot of detail. Start at page 16 and read through at least page 23 if you want to understand what Ripling could discern from the spy's Slack usage.

> In part to ensure that the confidential information in Rippling’s Slack channels is used only for authorized purposes, Rippling employees’ Slack activity is “logged,” meaning every time a user views a document through Slack, accesses a Slack channel, sends a message, or conducts searches on Slack, that activity (and the associated user) is recorded in a log file.


Enterprise Slack - everything is audited, and searchable with appropriate permissions. Your slacks on company time or with company equipment are not private from said company.


Enterprise Anything - everything is logged and searchable in any company that has an IT dept.


Both would be fine? It’s a corp machine. If you find the amount of data disturbing don’t look what MS365/Teams is tracking…
