This is in the same vein as the secret service text message debacle after the Jan6th stuff.
I think you’ll see this more and more as companies and government agencies try to reconcile regulations, cyber security controls, and business needs. Obviously there is a need for employees to communicate. There are laws surrounding record retention. And there are laws and needs for security controls to lock down phones, wipe data, etc.
Those three things don’t always align with each other and if your employees pick a different channel to communicate they you can’t control, then that’s a huge problem from a regulation and even a security perspective.
That said, locking down work phones is only going to push people to their personal devices and that creates way more issues overall.
