Google originally claimed to be privacy focused, too, until the incentives to enshittify became too great.

Use open source if you want privacy.

The open source version isn't E2E encrypted fyi

Can you provide more info on this? It looks like they built Meet with the MLS protocol, and unless I'm missing something, that should be E2EE and it should work on any client (regardless of the server)

They’ve just rebranded La Suite Meet anyway,

I was basing it off the top comment here which said "They’ve just rebranded La Suite Meet" (which isn't E2E) but it looks like that person might have just been talking out their ass anyway.
