It's also not a coincidence that Slack is neutering the ability to access channel history via the API very soon. With a very generous rate limit of 2 requests per minute I believe it was and a max of ~10 messages. This is already enforced for new marketplace apps and will apply to all apps starting in March according to their docs.

And archiving apps not allowed in the marketplace… very aggressive move to destroy free and non enterprise tier

I'm surprised GDPR has nothing to say about this. You should have the right to your data, but I suppose that doesn't extend to companies?

It does to some extent, because companies have to respect gdpr for their own users as well: so individual employees/slack users have gdpr rights and they individually can get those enforced against the slack operators.

EU Data Act will be more relevant here, but will take a while to roll out.
