Who would ever sign on to Slack/continue to use Slack when <different corporation> could be scouring through your sensitive company conversations? It's not like Slack can't do so now, if they chose.

Companies that don't want to entrust their sensitive conversations to Slack, etc., opt to use on-site Hipchat servers, or other means of communication. Amazon buying Slack doesn't significantly alter their calculus.

Slack isn't in the business of offering competing services based on the data that flows through their systems. Something you can't exactly say is true with Amazon.
