    Not only Slack - it is likely also a replacement for Signal. Even if Signal isn’t a US entity, it is still hosted outside of the EU.

      Sure, technically it’s a replacement for a bunch of services. But from a institutional perspective you wouldn’t use Signal in the first place, just like you wouldn’t use WhatsApp. You want closed (as in no open participation not as closed source) systems where only employees can send messages in the first place. Traditionally you would use Slack or MS Teams for that.

      That doesn’t mean that your employees wouldn’t use WhatsApp or Signal anyway and having a convenient alternative might curb that use.
