(do not work in finance so excuse the dumb question but) if there is this requirement for all employee communications to be tracked for compliance purposes, how are/were face to face meetings recorded? Or just chatting in the corridor? Is that not allowed?

They're required to keep minutes from face to face meetings for compliance. Of course people still talk informally but they need to know to constraint what they talk about in those circumstances. This likely was triggered because some employees were using whatsapp to evade compliance checks on topics that should have been regulated.

...Admittedly I've been in smaller fintechs where that isn't a problem, but holy hell, why would anyone work somewhere where you couldn't even talk in the hallway? Insane.
