Public bug reported:

I think it's a serious problem with Empathy that there is no option to
prevent conversations being logged, as there is in Pidgin. It would be
good to have:

1) A general option to turn off logging altogether on the user's own computer
1a) An option to keep the current conversation from being recorded on the 
user's own computer
2) A button to erase all conversation history stored on the user's own computer
3) A function (in the "view previous conversations" window) for deleting past 
conversations with individual 
contacts

It seems to me socially inappropriate to record all my conversations
with my friends, and this is particularly true of IM and phone
conversations, where people may not know that what they say is being
recorded. It would therefore be good to have the option of turning this
off.

Debateably, it might also be good to warn the user that the program is
logging their conversation, and that they can turn the "feature" off if
they so desire.

I'm using Empathy 2.26.1
