I'm sorry I had to use a feature on my browser I rarely use which is summarize. I'm pretty sure your point is valid and concerning but the way that page was designed is just too painful to read.

I'm so tired of this particular kind of LLM (-assisted) slop. The engagement bait, the stupid little hacker-style animations, the drawn out text...

Please, people, use your own words, and don't overdo every little thing. It's tiring. When everybody does this, nobody stands out.

The article contains live network captures run with `ss -tnup` during an actual Proton Meet call, DNS resolution and ASN lookups performed in real time, a line-by-line read of LiveKit's DPA identifying them as an independent Controller for call detail records, and CSP headers pulled directly from meet.proton.me.

If you found a factual error, name it. "I don't like the animations" is not a methodology critique.

Fair point on the methodology. The ss output and CSP headers are concrete. The LiveKit Controller distinction is the part worth debating-independent Controller vs Processor changes the privacy story significantly. Has Proton responded to that specific claim?
Yeah this same site did an article on some minor ubuntu bootloader drama some weeks ago and when I recognized the design I just stopped reading. If you have something to say don’t go out of your way to make it hard to parse.
