This is actually a fairly big deal in enterprise sales. I learned that one of the reasons my company didn't use Slack and opted for a larger company's (arguably inferior) clone was that Slack was basically not suable (blood from a stone and all that). My company basically wanted the ability to hold the provider liable for a breach. I look around at our other vendors and most of them appear to be capable of weathering a lawsuit, whereas Slack (at that time) was not. Now...however....things have changed. :)
