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.

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.

Europe has found itself in a difficult and dangerous situation.
Last August, Proton’s Europe tech sovereignty report revealed that over 74% of publicly listed European companies depend on US infrastructure for their basic tech services.
Whether sending emails or running critical infrastructure in the cloud, Europe places its digital destiny in the hands of a few American service providers and the government they answer to.
That report now seems even more prescient...

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 @npub1xh7…v9hj 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.
You can find out more about what they do and the $1 million that Proton is donating towards organizations defending democracy during this critical time here:

Tech oligarchs are a huge problem.
That's why Proton is not controlled by any individual, but by the non-profit Proton Foundation, which has neutrality in its governing principles.

By working on the front lines of many policy issues, we have seen the shift between Dems and Republicans over the past decade first hand.
Dems had a choice between the progressive wing (Bernie Sanders, etc), versus corporate Dems, but in the end money won and constituents lost.
Until corporate Dems are thrown out, the reality is that Republicans remain more likely to tackle Big Tech abuses.

Corporate capture of Dems is real. In 2022, we campaigned extensively in the US for anti-trust legislation.
Two bills were ready, with bipartisan support. Chuck Schumer (who coincidently has two daughters working as big tech lobbyists) refused to bring the bills for a vote.
At a 2024 event covering antitrust remedies, out of all the invited senators, just a single one showed up - JD Vance.
