They offer a thing they’re calling an “opt-out.”
The opt-out (a) is only available to companies who are slack customers, not end users, and (b) doesn’t actually opt-out.
When a company account holder tries to opt-out, Slack says their data will still be used to train LLMs, but the results won’t be shared with other companies.
LOL no. That’s not an opt-out. The way to opt-out is to stop using Slack.

Nor is it up to you. But fact remains, it’s not illegal until there are actually laws against it. The court cases that might determine whether current laws are against it are still ongoing.
