It’s not unreasonable.

The thing is every time you load company proprietary code and/or sensitive data you better make sure you don’t hit the share button as well.

Not the end of the world but also something we didn’t have to think about until recently. That pushing a button (other than delete) could potentially get you fired.

> make sure you don’t hit the share button

Are you concerned using email in general?

Because every-time you hit “send” sounds scary as well.

Joking aside, it seems fairly obvious that the risk is on you if your “share” your company’s sensitive code.

This question of who gets to see your company data is I think a lot more thorny these days than ever before.

You're joking about email, but that's of course the reason why companies will pay a lot to host email on premise instead of relying on cheaper offsite solutions. I think Exchange Server is Microsoft's biggest foot in the door to access conpanies tbat otherwise wouldn't care much about the other Microsoft services.

Having a third party look at every email you're sending around is just a non starter for many businesses.

Getting the same setting in an editor where your code is shared with the editor company everytime you want to show it to a colleague is not trivial at all.

I don’t most consider these things anymore. How many signed up for copilot without a second thought?
