How can we build an internet where privacy is the default? Proton's CEO Andy Yen shares his thoughts

[@VictorOrdu]

Like I always say: Data is the new oil, but privacy is the new gold. Great talk and keep up the good work!

[@nicolasrodrigo9]

Very good saying!!

[@abstract-thoughts]

Thank you for advocating for privacy. Love my protonmail service.

[@gnolygnolls9816]

Great speech, thank you.

[@ViewHertzRecords]

Commitment and integrity. Love it. Thank you Proton team 💎

[@rustywoodpecker8191]

Considering that the internet derived from Military secret communication, it should stay that way. It’s only the greedy that exploit this. So the battle for our privacy continues. Congratulations to Proton for keeping our privacy their main priority. Thank you👍 Australia🇦🇺

I say every instance of a data breach is an automatic 5,000 dollar fine per person per data point.

[@destroyer2973]

Lack of end to end encryption should be treated as negligence. Use signal protocol, S/MIME, OpenPGP, Dark Internet Mail Environment, MTproto, TLS1.3/ECH, DKIM, CAA Auth, DANE, etc, all that apply or be held liable.

Proton web browser, please.

[@americanswan]

Maybe. But it would have to be Firefox based.

15:10 telegram is not privacy friendly though.

What we need is a Proton Privacy version of Android. Android connects to Google every time you open the settings app

[@seangraylin]

You mean like a de-googled phone such as lineageOS and GrapheneOS?

[@americanswan]

@@seangraylin Sure, maybe, but we need to get the OS into newer phones. Flashing the firmware on new phones is way too tough.

Very good information

[@higherresolution4490]

Actually, Zukerberg wasn't the first with this scheme of people gladly providing all their information for public display. It was the creators of websites offering opportunities for foreign brides-Russian, Ukranian, Philippine, Latin and the list goes on. These websites were for the benefit of domestic and foreign intelligence agencies.

[@nicolasrodrigo9]

I still remember those sites existed when I was young 😂

[@intreb95]

Thank you, I love my ProtonMail account.

[@Jeff_T918]

Unless senders of information are required to be supplied with a public key with the email address, the destination of information is very irrelevant outside of secure storage by the receiver. Also, companies can forward data to advertisers parallel to sending an encrypted message to users thereby feigning privacy. Still, requiring the underlying architecture that provides encryption to/from content providers would be a step in the right direction... and how do you fill out a form/application/etc on paper and provide a public key for encryption purposes? Not possible, but could be remedied by email validation which could gather the necessary information. What is sad though, is encrypted communication is available in so many ways and corporations just don't bother to utilize them. Utilities like Bitwarden, LastPass, RoboForm, etc., could make pubic/private keys as simple to use as filling in an email and password. Thank you for your talk and for Proton.

[@VulcanOnWheels]

2:59 I believe you meant to say, "was harvested *by* Facebook", which means something rather different. I share in the gratitude expressed by Christian.

[@cutiex7357]

Love it!

[@caritaboronska4478]

Great idea but not sure you can trust any tech company to keep your "privacy" private. Proton is built with the support of " Innosuisse - Swiss Innovation Agency" as well as the European Union's Horizon 2020 program. Chairman of the Innovation Council of Innosuisse since 2017 is Alois Zwinggi - a member of the Managing Board of the World Economic Forum.

i encrypt my cash when sending it postal with a letter around it. internet predates when you say?

[@Grejegando]

"A brilliant Polish guy" who's a stooge for the Cabal stole the idea from the actual brilliant creators of facebook. Why do we promote lies and misinformation? Why don't we call a spade a spade? With that said, I agree on everything else you said. I am a new Proton user btw.

[@Tex1680]

I thank you so much for not giving in to the Alphabet bois around the world. People are giving up too much of their freedoms blindly

[@yet4021]

what about the idea to put your 'KZbin' on rumble for instance. I cannot find you there. And I don't trust y.t. in not eliminating this.

Love proton, but as with everything, somewhere between the two sides is where the answer lies. Total And anonymity in the hands of some, probably not gonna end well. While control and access to one's data unchecked, also very dangerous. (PERSONAL EXPERIENCE taught me this first hand)

If they did it once, they will do it again...

[@seangraylin]

Okay I hate his argument. So Proton was not keeping any logs. Then they were ordered to from the Swiss court to start collecting logs on this one person. You make it seem like they took logs from the beginning then handed it over this is not the case.

[@seangraylin]

@@theriddickulusnes4564 Yeah just like how every single company ever that wants to stay in business is legally obliged to follow warrants they will have to do it again if ordered to. At least they don't do it by default like most other countries.

[@theriddickulusnes4564]

@@seangraylin You can hate my comment until the end of days, it doesn't make it less truthful... They did gave information away and it wasn't about one person! Besides that, as soon as some government starts waiving warrents you start giving?!...

[@seangraylin]

@@theriddickulusnes4564 Yeah if a government waves a warrant you have to give that info up. Because guess what if you don’t then you won’t be a company anymore and you’ll end up in prison. Imagine that. You are acting like they give it away without fighting or warrants. And you obviously don’t understand how Swiss privacy laws work and what you need to do to get the Swiss government to issue any such warrant.

[@kemonoyama2084]

A blockchain based society and internet is the solution to privacy....In my Opinion. Block Chains will be the future of privacy. Quantum computing has already made hashing basically obsolete...

[@theriddickulusnes4564]

I love proton a lot! With that all valid arguments! But for the love of god take some 'how to communicate' classes!

[@BurhBurhBurh]

"Public won't disclose their email password therefore everyone has someone to hide" What a silly argument! - maybe public don't want to lose access to their email or be impersonated. Better argument would be "then handover your phone unlocked"
