Well, this is unfortunate.

Proton Meet Isn't What They Told You It Was

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.

@Gina Irrelevant question, but is there an actual private video-call platform and if yes which is it?

@JakeKb I'd recommend #Jitsi for individual users.

@Gina @JakeKb where do you host your Jitsi server? Would it maybe be a cloud hosting provider who is also vulnerable to a subpoena? The way I read it is: video relays for P2P by video suck. I know this because I can consider myself lucky if I spin up a Jitsi and have it go without incident. I once tried the FSF Jitsi instance and it was down right broken.
