My team is happy to welcome all HipChat users to the Wickr Pro platform. The good news is that we already have a lot of customers who migrate from Slack and HipChat to Wickr when they need to have security and compliance. Users find that unlike on Slack or elsewhere, that their collaboration flows are end-to-end encrypted so no 3rd party including Wickr has access to your team data.

IT doesn't appear that FB values user privacy, this is not a surprise.
