Proton Spaces - an alternative to Teams/Slack/Discord/Telegram etc.
Currently, many companies and authorities in Europe are searching for realistic alternatives to Big Tech, and one area lacking a truly viable option is the space occupied by Microsoft Teams and Slack. We are also seeing increased skepticism toward Discord following the introduction of age verification. Furthermore, all these services are unencrypted and closed-source.
I believe there could be an opening here for Proton to step in and offer a privacy-friendly alternative and building a service similar to Teams/Slack/Discord that caters to both businesses and individuals. This would make Proton’s business suite more attractive and provide a natural integration with Proton Meet when it arrives. There is also a demand within Facebook groups to find privacy-focused alternatives to Facebook itself, yet no such platform truly exists.

I know not a lot of people are going to want Proton to shift focus, but this is most certainly an issue of global privacy concern. There are some alternatives like Matrix.org, but Proton is a well known company that would have everyday appeal. Matrix might be a bit intimidating for folks, but a Proton Spaces could be a lot more friendly and approachable to people who just want a "gaming sever" or a place to gather their friends to chat. I would most definitely love to see an official Proton Spaces product soon.
