How important is 1:1 online chat privacy for you?

This is regarding every chat application that you can imagine of - Whatsapp, Messenger, Signal, X, Telegram and even those unnamed incognito stranger chats.
Everyone has their own ways of protecting your chats but are they truly private & safe? You share a life secret with one of your friend out of TRUST, but then they eventually share it to the world for self interest or for any random reasons like even court proceedings. That actually is also one kind of CHEATING and MISUSING your personal information unless its requested by courts for highest national security concern in any nation.
How important is personal data safety for you?
If you have seen mission impossible, do you remember Ethan Hunt doing 1-to-1 chat about their missions using an old school command line chatting system in part 1 (or 2 I guess. Don't exactly remember the whole scene)?
Would you love having such a thing in reality?

Last week, I had a remote support session with one of my customers. It's quite puzzling: their policy prohibits me from having unattended access to their server (despite my signing an NDA and our support contract). Yet, they have no qualms about sharing credentials and other confidential information through the MS Teams chat during a web meeting.

Did you experience something similar?

Hi @christoph_dyllick_brenzinger1, not exactly, but yes, things do get more complex when it comes to discussing work and credentials in chat sessions.
However, what I'm referring to is those friendly, confidential discussions we often have with trusted people ā except now it's happening online.
Of course, this can also apply to sharing confidential information, but that's where contracts come in for legal protection.
