Salesforce buys word processing app Quip for $750M

Thanks for sharing that link! No mention of encryption or security on the features page is what personally turns me away. You don't even mention security :(

This is what frightens me in 2016. Apps are being developed where security is not the primary constraint. After everything we've learned about warrantless wiretapping, the NSA collecting everything, etc it's like nothing will wake some people up that they need to adjust to the new paradigm that security MUST be the primary constraint. Sigh.

Thanks! I saw that after more digging. It still should be under features IMO. And they say in "Level 2" security data is encrypted at rest. Who holds the keys? They should make that clear. It should only be trusted if the end user holds the keys.
