They had compliance exports and I wish they'd stuck with that since turning them on notified everyone that your employer could now see everything and prevented them from exporting anything private prior to that.

I know why they did this but a compromise could have been found. With this ability someone can dump everything and just read through it with users none-the-wiser. If users read the previous documentation they'd even believe they were safe from snooping and would be notified when it started. At least with compliance exports the users were informed and had privacy.
