  Privacy software can get complicated quickly. There are operating systems to replace, apps to swap, networks to understand, and settings buried several menus deep. You don’t need to use all of them. But these tools show how one privacy expert approaches everyday technology: reduce unnecessary data collection, separate sensitive activity, and make more deliberate choices about who gets access to your information 👇 https://proton.me/blog/privacy-tools-experts-use

  For most people, a computer runs either Windows or macOS. Both operating systems collect information about how they work, and both connect to large cloud ecosystems. The difference is how much data they collect, where that data can go, and how much control you have over it. So if privacy is the priority, which is the better operating system? https://proton.me/blog/mac-vs-pc-privacy

  People don’t trust AI, but they tell it everything People discuss their most private thoughts with AI chatbots. But their revelations to the apps doesn’t mean they trust the Big Tech companies behind them, according to new research from Proton. Roughly two-thirds of AI chatbot users have discussed at least one sensitive topic. But at the same time, fewer than one in five say they have a high level of trust in AI companies to protect their private information. https://proton.me/blog/ai-chatbot...

  Privacy technology does not have to mean replacing every device you own or learning how to build your own computer. There are plenty of smaller changes you can make to adjust the way you use technology. You can keep information offline, block trackers across your home network, choose software that gives you more control, or even carry an entire operating system on a USB drive. We explored some of them in our recent video 👇️ (Pop!_OS for the inevitable question) https://youtu.be/3VJ5Htyhm7k

  EU fines Google $1 billion over its search and Play Store European Union regulators fined Google €890 million last Thursday, saying the company broke the bloc’s digital competition law. The penalty, worth about $1 billion, closes two investigations the European Commission opened in March 2024. Alphabet, Google’s parent company, takes in roughly that much revenue in a day. https://proton.me/blog/google-eu-fine-antitrust-play-search

  "As governments around the world strain to make the internet safer for children, one idea has been gaining traction: Instead of forcing websites to keep out children, why not have their device do it instead? In the United Kingdom, Apple has already begun requiring some iPhone users to verify their age at the operating system level to access certain features. This is a major shift in how identity works online..." https://proton.me/blog/age-verification-operating-system

  For two years, a lone activist went undercover inside two domestic terrorist organizations in the United States, rising through the ranks to try to gain intel and leak it to the media. His goal was ultimately to weaken them and bring them down. In the first episode of our new series, Witness Protection, the activist gave us an exclusive inside account of how he infiltrated the organizations and the complex techniques he used to stay safe. https://youtu.be/Z0v48bME-H4
