@npub1uxf…6kyl Proton VPN can protect your internet connection from prying eyes, however, it cannot protect you against software that you've installed on your device. If an app has access to your browser's history, that's not something that we can prevent.
As a rule of thumb, we always recommend researching services before you consent to giving them access to your data.

@npub1pq0…mfny Yes, we updated our website at that time to better clarify our obligations and unlike other providers, we do fight on behalf of our users.

@npub1pq0…mfny Hi Micah, the fact that Proton Mail was not able to hand over any messages even under legal order proves that our encryption works, and that it can not be be bypassed. It was very likely of great assistance to the activist in this case. Had they been using any other email provider, the outcome would have been very different.
We also provide an official onion site for anonymous access through the Tor network.

Big tech fines in 2023 totalled $3bn for breaking laws on both sides of the Atlantic.
Here's a breakdown of long it took them to pay off their respective fines:
🔎 Google: $941 million – 1 day 4 hours
📦 Amazon: $111.7 million – 2 hours
👓 Meta: $1.72 billion – 5 days 13 hours
🍏 Apple: $186.4 million – 4 hours
🪟 Microsoft: $84 million – 3.5 hours

2024-01-08 14:36:35

If you think big fines work on #BigTech, think again.
Google, Apple, Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft generated enough revenue in the past 7 days to pay off their fines for 2023.
Taking advantage of your privacy is so lucrative, that these fines are nothing more than the cost of doing business.

What happens is that Google opts you out of third parties grabbing up your data, but it doesn’t opt #Google out of it. So by opting into their Ad Topics on #Android, you allow Google to get your data & no one else, essentially crowning it king ofthe #bigdata monopoly. (2/4)

Google continues to build its massive surveillance empire under the sinister guise of “privacy.” In its latest iteration on #Android, Google
lets you opt into their “Ad Topics,” which roughly translated means, “Let Google be the gatekeeper of all your data.” (1/4)

@npub1snk…yw0p We rolled out the beta version of Key Transparency on our own private blockchain, meaning it’s not run by a decentralized series of validators. The action such as you describe would be detected by the owner of the email address, as they can check their own keys in Key Transparency. In that sense, Key Transparency is a detection mechanism, rather than a prevention mechanism (although it also aims to prevent via deterrence, as malicious behavior would be detected).

What’s the cybersecurity practice you find the hardest to follow?

@npub1xtg…xfsf @npub15cd…3mv2 There is no comparison between Crypto AG and us. Our encryption occurs client-side, our cryptographic code is open source ( https://proton.me/community/open-source ), and our tech can and has been independently verified.

@npub1xtg…xfsf @npub15cd…3mv2 Hi Kevin! As explained previously, this case shows that we do provide privacy by default - even in cases when we receive a legal request we cannot contest, we are not able to share the encrypted content on our service with the authorities. All we have is the extremely limited metadata that we need for the services to function properly. If anonymity is part of your threat model, here are some tips: https://proton.me/blog/how-to-send-an-anonymous-email and https://proton.me/blog/use-protonmail-anonymously.

European lawmakers also need to acknowledge this when considering similar legislation in the EU. It's not too late to stop #chatcontrol, and we encourage all of our EU-based users to contact their MEPs about this. (1/3)

As the #OnlineSafetyAct becomes law in the #UK without critical legal safeguards to end-to-end encryption, the internet as we know it faces a very real threat: https://proton.me/blog/online-safety-act
The Act could give the UK government the power to access, collect, and read anyone’s private conversations at any time. The UK Government has previously admitted that the proposals are "technically unfeasible," and we hope @Ofcom
keeps this front of mind during the implementation process. (1/2)

@npub178f…3584 It's not possible to use the same custom domain on Proton Mail and SimpleLogin (but you can use a subdomain on one service and the main domain on the other).
For exporting your emails, and importing them into Proton Mail, please see this support article:
https://proton.me/support/export-import-emails

There's a difference between proactively violating user privacy and following court orders in criminal cases.
All companies (Proton included) have to follow court orders, but it has been proven multiple times in court that Proton's encryption cannot be bypassed. Proton however can't provide anonymity unless the user has proper infosec (like using Tor or VPN).

Here is one man’s nightmare: https://nytimes.com/2022/08/21/technology/google-surveillance-toddler-photo.html – don’t let that be you. Turn this feature off if you opted into the beta for Google Files today.
Thanks to BasicCatBR on Twitter for alerting us to this new feature so we could let our community know.
Here's how to turn it off:

As Smart Search scours your phone, if it finds something it thinks (keyword: *think*) is CSAM, it can potentially shut down your Google account forever and flag you as a criminal. If you're deeply ingrained in Google’s ecosystem, losing your account would be devastating. (2/3)

We thought Google hit rock bottom with #privacy.
Its new beta feature on Google Files for #Android called “Smart Search" is the trap door.
This creepy new feature on by default & scans every file on your phone. Why is this bad? Because it could potentially ruin your life. (1/3)

Regaining your #privacy starts with learning, so we’ve started a book recommendations series focused on privacy and security.
For entry no. 2 on the #ProtonPrivacyReadingList we’ve chosen Carissa Veliz’s “Privacy Is Power”. It discusses how we, as a society, can seize back control of our data and the power that comes with it: https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/442343/privacy-is-power-by-carissa-veliz/9780552177719

@npub1h9h…tyrn We can assure you that Proton's infrastructure has not been compromised, and that these attackers didn't get anything directly from our servers. Even in the unlikely event this happens, attackers wouldn't be able to gain access to the actual emails in an unencrypted form because of zero-access encryption.
The attackers likely got access to the victim's credentials from the victim (phishing attack, social engineering, a compromised device, etc.).

@npub1swy…snpj Most of the time, you won't experience them on our websites. However, we need to implement them in order to protect our IP reputation and the users who depend on it. To understand the importance of CAPTCHAs we recommend this article: https://proton.me/blog/captchas.

A new low, even for #Google. Giving Google permission to share information about you with third-party websites is being falsely advertised as an "ad privacy feature". This is privacy washing at its most extreme. But it gets even worse.
There is a dark pattern on the second screenshot. It isn't just informing you about the fake privacy features. Clicking on "Got it" actually turns on these features that allow Google to use your recent browsing history for ads on third-party websites:

Today, we're announcing Proton CAPTCHA, the world’s first CAPTCHA with built-in censorship-resistant technologies to prevent bot and spam attacks.
We needed a tool that tells the difference between humans and automated bots, but also a CAPTCHA option that meets the high security and privacy standards you expect from us.
This is only the beginning. You can expect more innovation in this space.

@npub160e…z565 @npub1cmr…whhl Hi there! S/MIME encryption and signing are not currently supported, however, we've shared your feedback internally for future consideration. We do not have a specific timeframe for when this might get implemented.

2023-09-12 13:48:00

Standardized, interoperable #encryption is key for a better internet.
Proton and the @npub1cmr…whhl OpenPGP Working Group are pleased to announce a crypto refresh of the #OpenPGP standard. Standardization today ensures interoperability tomorrow.

Gmail was used an example, mainly because our EasySwitch allows you to automatically setup email forwarding from your old Gmail account to your new Proton Mail one, in addition to email import.
