LOL, according to this, my family's group text thread is illegal under this law, as DMs can only be between 2 people.

EDIT: serious question; would Slack be professional networking or, how does that work under this bill? It's DMing for business, but it isn't really networking.

Nothing in the law restricts to DMs being between two people, it just distinguishes them from public content.

As I understand it,

> (I) shared between the sender and the recipient; 171 (II) only visible to the sender and the recipient; and 172 (III) are not posted publicly;

maybe sender and recipient can be considered a group chat with multiple recipients? Otherwise you wouldn't classify something like Kik or Discord as social media.

Group chats wouldn't be illegal, that's not an online service where you sign up and make a profile etc. This applies only to sites that would serve you random content from random users... i.e. Social Media.

Most Slack usage I’m aware of doesn’t fit the description, but some does. Quite a lot of Discord usage however…

That would not need a carve out for private messages between two profiles
