Interesting, I wonder if its due to making sure the messages are traceable and staff are accountable. As stated by the authorities

Or is there something they know that we dont? Lemmy has made me paranoid about the security of messaging apps…

(I have no idea how to read code so I wouldn’t have a clue)

    This is a ban of those apps on work issued devices, not personal devices. I suspect there’s a range of reasons for doing this but I don’t think the apps being compromised is one of those reasons. Most likely the opposite, the apps work too well.

      Yeah, I’m sure it’s for auditing and being able to respond to freedom of information requests etc
