We didn't want to say this ourselves because the last thing we want to do is draw the wrong type of attention, but this is the point everyone missed. We're seeing some scary stuff arriving that even an army of the smartest humans won't keep up with.

Hi. Proton employee here, I was even famously quoted in the 404 media article.
I have spent a long-ass time debunking 404's misinfo about Proton online, like "Proton helps the FBI".
I would be wary about believing every single thing written by 404 about Proton.

Lumo can now turn your ideas into creations.
Draft documents, write code, build web pages, all in a canvas that sits right next to your chat. 🪄
Everything is protected with zero-access encryption. Prompts aren't logged, aren't used to train any model.

In my whole career I've never seen a judicial system getting international law more consistently wrong than the French judicial system. Kudos to my French colleagues, I don't know how you keep your patience practicing there. So much time lost.

A welcome development on a crucial topic of Swiss politics.
Nach mehrstündigem Schlagabtausch ist klar: Die Verträge mit der EU sollen auch das Ständemehr benötigen.

Little known fact: The EU AI Act was supposed to regulate AI by August 2026. Instead, reportedly most EU countries didn't even manage to appoint a regulator by that time and it was postponed.
EU folding under its own regulatory pressure.

i’m sorry to inform you that zero knowledge proofs are not the solution to the KYC data leak nightmare we find ourselves in.
the solution is less KYC.
advanced cryptography for governments is a slippery slope that will only lead to a more controlled society over time.

Deep apologies for everyone impacted by the @ProtonPrivacy outage earlier tonight. We had an unprecedented total cooling failure at our Frankfurt datacenter which unfortunately required more time consuming manual recovery.

#fiscalité
L’Italie favorise l’installation de millionnaires sur son sol en raison d’une fiscalité forfaitaire avantageuse. Et la Suisse (à part quelques cantons: ZG, SW, LU, NE, OW) les dissuade en raison d’un impôt important sur la fortune. La sécurité jour également un rôle. La région lémanique a perdu de son attractivité.
Il est temps que les cantons se ressaisissent. Revoir leur système fiscal et augmenter la sécurité.

Proton’s CEO is a champion of encryption for everyone. So why is he going all in on un-encryptable AI? wired.com/story/the-big-inte…

I’m very excited to be a founding member of this new association to fight for the interests of digital innovators in Washington!
Today we're launching the Little Tech Association (#LTA), the actual voice of founders, startups, and investors striving to grow and compete in the digital economy.
200+ member companies, from names you know to ones you haven't heard of yet: @protonprivacy, @Replit, @Yelp, @ycombinator and many more.
One shared belief: the best products and ideas should win on merit, not market power.

The public vote seems to be split between shoe aficionados and freebie-wanters, so I'm going to compromise by giving away 12 @ProtonVPN licences to folks who reply here with their best shoe pictures.
Entry rules in the comments.
