Proton built Proton Meet to escape the CLOUD Act. They built it on CLOUD Act infrastructure. Their website promises "not even government agencies" can access your calls. The company routing them hands your call records to the government when asked. Proton hid them from their privacy policy.

    To summarise. The data is routed over US services, but its encrypted as they said. This means meta data is open, but the content is not.

    Thank you that was quite the insightful read. I have alread read another big blog post about Proton in general. I’ve been a Proton subscriber for a while now and also been looking into private meet/call software and sites. I personally quite like Element (On Matrix protocol) but I’ve also been looking into Brave Talk and following Proton Meet. While I think my threat model doesn’t warrant it and the Proton suite is very convenient while still a lot better that Google I think I will keep on using Proton services, just more in a conscious manner
