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.

    The pitch is that Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams are CLOUD Act-subject, and Proton Meet is the safe alternative. Their blog describes the result as “as private as meeting in person.” I spent the launch day investigating that claim. Proton Meet is built entirely on LiveKit Cloud, a US company whose contracts are governed by California law, subject to the CLOUD Act, with an infrastructure chain made up exclusively of American companies.

    So. Yeah. This could be false claims?
