Far-right users of X (formerly Twitter) are singling out individual Activision Blizzard employees for comments made in support of DEI and inclusion at the company.
I’m honestly surprised that Slack doesn’t have some kind of steganographic watermarking so that leaked screenshots can be traced back to the original user, given how many big companies use it for all their internal comms.
The techniques you’re thinking of are for documents sent by email or some such. You add innocuous whitespace or typos that are unique to each one, and send them individually. If one leaks, you can match it to the employee who received it. That doesn’t work for screenshots of Slack.
I did use slack; we had general channels with tons of people and smaller channels/meeting rooms with 5-30 people. If it was a 5-30 channel they can be found.
Ok well Im not an idiot, I have plenty of comms apps and that one died really quickly presumably because everyone’s experience was as boring and disjointed as mine

These companies can barely make the basics work on their apps, let alone all of this
Even so, they’re going find this person fast. ABK staff just has to cross reference all the participants of leaked meetings
I see you don’t use slack at work. Everyone is in every channel all the time for no reason. It’s madness.

Only if that channel was private. You don’t have to join a channel to be able to read its contents.
Oh what the fuck. I don’t believe Teams is that way.
There are public and private channels, simple as.
Just one of the reasons that Teams is horrible to use!
The reason is that it’s great for collaboration and sharing info
Christ I got added to this for college, such a mess of an app. Really difficult to follow what is what on it.
It’s really not. Depends on how your structure it I suppose
