A better internet starts with privacy and freedom
About us
A better internet starts with privacy. At Proton, we believe privacy is a human right and the foundation of a free and open society, which is why we're building an ecosystem of privacy-first, open-source tools that put people (not profits) first. Created by scientists from CERN and MIT, governed by the Swiss non-profit Proton Foundation, and powered by a global community of supporters, Proton is independent, community-funded, and 100% subscription-based, never driven by ads or data mining. Our ecosystem includes Proton Mail, Proton VPN, Proton Drive, Proton Calendar, Proton Meet, Proton Pass, Proton Authenticator, and Lumo, our privacy-respecting AI assistant. Trusted by over 100 million people worldwide, from journalists and activists to NGOs, academics, and creatives, Proton is the trusted alternative to Big Tech. Headquartered in Switzerland, we're united by a single mission: to make privacy the default for everyone. 🔐

Hate it when you send a photo and it shows up with all of 5 pixels? With Proton Drive, that’s not a problem. No compression, no resizing, and no loss of quality. Your photos stay as sharp as when you took them. Try it: proton.me/drive

Honored to support the OpenStreetMap Foundation. Every year through our Lifetime Fundraiser, we back organizations that are making a real difference. On top of this, funds are allocated from each year's Fundraiser in order to support past beneficiaries. Thanks for the kind words. 💜
As you know, I'm a Director of the OpenStreetMap Foundation. But, did you know this is a volunteer gig? The OSMF has a few paid positions, but all Board members who are voted in by the global community are volunteers. I jokingly say that my work with the OSMF is my baby because well, it takes time and love. I don't think I'd be qualified to be in this role if I did not truly 100% believed in the project, its people, its meaning of community. I'm sharing this so that those of you who did not know are also aware that the OSMF is not a profit-making-business. We rely 100% on donations from members all around the world and sponsorships from various institutions who use our data and believe in the project. With that, I do want to share an update on our latest Platinum Corporate Sponsor, Proton ! 🤩 🎉 🎈 You can find out more about our announcement here: https://lnkd.in/eQXR-VFs But, on a personal note, as myself, I want to kindly send a big thank you to Proton's very own Irina M.. Thank you, Irina for believing in us and being such a pleasure to chat and work with. Proton is lucky to have you! Thank you, Proton !

Google says Gemini just passed a billion monthly users. But Gemini comes preinstalled on many Android phones. When something ships preinstalled across the world's most common OS, "monthly users" measures distribution as much as it measures choice. Those aren't the same thing. What's more, there's no way to uninstall on many of these devices, only the option to disable. You can switch it off, you can hide it, but it stays on the phone. And if you do get rid of it, your activity history doesn't go with it. That stays in your Google account until you delete it yourself. So the question remains: if it wasn't preinstalled, would you have installed it yourself?

Proton Docs now has a table of contents! Long documents have a habit of becoming hard to navigate. Now, when your document contains headings, Docs builds an outline automatically. Click any heading to jump straight there, and the outline follows along and highlights where you are as you scroll. You can also copy a direct link to any heading, so anyone opening it lands exactly on that section. No more tedious scrolling to find the content that you need. It works in editing and viewing modes, adapts to narrower screens, and can be resized. And because it's generated locally from your end-to-end encrypted document, your content is never exposed to us. Also in this update: ➡️ Export a specific version of a document as DOCX, directly from version history ➡️ Switching between editing and viewing preserves your scroll position ➡️ Comment threads load more efficiently in documents with lots of comments ➡️ Wide tables make better use of available space, including with the outline or comments open ➡️ Renaming is quicker, with the current name selected automatically Plus bug fixes and further performance improvements. For the full specifics, see our Reddit post: https://lnkd.in/e_c7wD24

Proton reposted this
Categories are now available in Proton Mail. Incoming emails are automatically sorted into Primary, Social, Promotions, Newsletters, Transactions, and Updates, making important emails easier to find and keeping the rest out of the way. Categories are optional, and you can choose which ones you want to see or turn them off entirely in settings. On mobile you can disable them in Settings → Mailbox Preferences → Categories → Disable On web: All Settings → Messages and composing → Email Categories → Disable From a privacy perspective, enabling Categories doesn’t change anything about how Proton Mail works. Your inbox remains protected by zero-access encryption, and emails you send to other Proton users (or using password protection) are end-to-end encrypted. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eVVXQm6E Try it out and let us know what you think.

The person who left your company last month might still be able to log in. Security Magazine reported last year that nearly 90% of former employees keep access to corporate systems and data after they've gone. Not because anyone did anything malicious. Because offboarding is a list of small jobs and it only takes one to get missed. The laptop comes back. The email gets shut off. But the shared vendor login nobody rotated still works, the API key they generated is still valid, and their admin role on the cloud drive is still sitting there. These could go unnoticed until it becomes a problem. And the awkward part is you don't need an incident to be in trouble. If a former employee can still reach customer data, that's a compliance issue under GDPR whether or not they ever touch it. Our guide covers what to revoke immediately, what to rotate within 24 hours, and what to audit before you assume it's done: https://lnkd.in/eZh_MR4P
