Proton has introduced Meet, a new video conferencing service designed around end-to-end encryption. It aims to serve as a privacy-focused alternative to services like Google Meet, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams. Users don’t need a Proton account to use Meet, and it’s free for meetings with up to 50 participants lasting less than an hour. For longer calls, a paid plan starting at $7.99 per month is required.

Proton explains that Meet was developed in response to demand for EU-based conferencing options that make it easier to comply with GDPR and the California Consumer Privacy Act. The service also addresses concerns related to complications introduced by the US Cloud Act.

Great share, lokamoka820!

It's interesting to see how Proton continues to expand its ecosystem with services that put privacy at the forefront. This launch proves that solid alternatives to mainstream platforms already exist, specifically designed for those seeking data sovereignty and regulatory compliance (like GDPR) without sacrificing functionality.
