Proton Pass passed an app audit.

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.

Age verification sounds reasonable until you realize it means every adult hands over their ID just to go online.
We wrote about why this is a terrible idea and what should happen instead.

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 ⤵️

Recent US State Department budget cuts have unfortunately also impacted non-profits working on internet freedom.
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.

Proton and Standard Notes are joining forces! We’re excited that #StandardNotes will be joining the Proton family to bring end-to-end encrypted note-taking to Proton users.
Standard Notes will remain free, #opensource, and fully supported: https://proton.me/blog/proton-standard-notes-join-forces

TL;DR There is no safe way to use TikTok, and our strong recommendation is to delete the app from all your devices.
