Governments around the world are making age a condition for accessing certain parts of the internet.
Our Age Verification page tracks where such laws are in force, where they are advancing, and how different countries are approaching the same policy goal.

Proton Mail now supports post-quantum encryption.
While quantum computers can’t break today’s encryption yet, preparing early matters. Data encrypted today could be targeted in the future.
With this update, you can enable post-quantum protection for new encrypted emails, on any plan, including free.

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.

The bug corrupts Android's network stack at the system level after a VPN update, causing users to blame their VPN provider.
Restarting the app doesn't help, with the only fix being a full device reboot or VPN app reinstall, something which most users never figure out.
This affects several VPN providers on Android 16, and only Google has the access to diagnose it properly.
After 7 months of waiting, we're now asking publicly: Google, when are you fixing this?

2026-03-24 11:25:26 UTC

Google has known about a bug that breaks VPN apps for 7 months, leaving users exposed with no warning or error, just a VPN app that stopped working in the background.
If you're using ANY VPN on Android, you can help us by getting Google's attention to fix it.
We first reported this bug to Google in September 2025.
Others like @nprofile…0a0c and Wireguard reported it even earlier, in August.
Google's response? "I don't see anything unusual."
Here's what's actually happening ⤵️

The Proton Foundation has stepped in to support organizations such as Free Press Unlimited, Freedom House, and Tor, which are impacted, but these organizations need more support.

Today is the 10th anniversary of Proton's 2014 crowdfunding campaign where the community came together to make our journey possible.
From the start, Proton has always put people ahead of profits, and today we're formalizing that by transitioning towards a non-profit structure.
We're here to serve you, and we look forward to continuing to commit Proton to the public good for the next 10 years and beyond. proton.me/blog/proton-non-profit-foundation

The name/address of the terrorism suspect was actually given to police by Apple, not Proton. The terror suspect added their real-life Apple email as an optional recovery address in Proton Mail. Proton can't decrypt data, but in terror cases Swiss courts can obtain recovery email.
