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.



I like Proton and I think a lot of the criticism of them is perfectionist, idealistic, unrealistic, etc. But this time, this is pretty bad. Very disappointing and its hard to see this as anything other than intentional dishonesty by Proton in addition to lazy software architecture. I will be writing in a complaint to them about this.
