- Mainstream video conferencing services like Zoom, Google, and Microsoft can eavesdrop on conversations, posing privacy risks.
- Proton Meet offers end-to-end encryption to ensure calls are private, preventing eavesdropping, ad targeting, surveillance, or AI training.
- Remote work and socializing increase the need for secure video tools, as metadata, chats, and calls can be intercepted or leaked.
- Tech giants may use audio, video, or chat data to train AI models, risking leaks of private conversations in AI outputs.
- Laws like the US CLOUD Act can compel U.S.-owned platforms to hand over data, creating compliance issues for organizations under GDPR or CCPA.
