‼️ Proton is hosting a map of 300,000+ Flock surveillance device locations that Flock tried to get taken down. Researcher Joshua Michael says he pulled them from Flock's own systems via a token left open to anyone. Proton calls the takedown "an attempt to suppress information."

Pause and Resume Pause the VPN for a set time and it reconnects automatically when the time’s up, so you don’t have to remember to turn it back on. Windows and Android first. 7/11

A smarter kill switch Improvements on Linux, macOS, iOS and iPadOS, plus advanced kill switch on macOS, which blocks internet access whenever you’re not connected to the VPN. 6/11

What we delivered We rebuilt how our apps connect from the ground up. With Proton protocols, our new WireGuard-based codebase, most of our apps now connect faster and are harder to block (not macOS yet). 2/11

We've just witnessed a 43,000% increase in free signups originating in Azerbaijan as a result of Instagram & TikTok being blocked.
Censorship alert for Azerbaijan 🇦🇿, where a +43,000% increase in @ProtonVPN free signups was triggered yesterday by blocks on Instagram and Tik Tok amid protests over new school dress code rules.

💀💀💀 hey @grok is it safe to feed photos of your credit card to AI
To buy stuff, you can just take a picture of your credit card, drop it in the chat and Grok @Bot will scour the Internet for the best deal on the item you want and order it
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
xAI explicitly warns users not to include personal information in prompts, yet credit card photos may contain such information. Grok Bot's terms state that user data and credentials may be stored in its cloud environment and require human review for financial transactions. x.ai/legal/privacy-… x.ai/legal/grok-bot…
