About

A better world starts with privacy and freedom. With this channel, we hope to engage you, surprise you, sometimes even rile you up. But above all, we want to give you the information you need to protect yourself and to make the most of your digital life. You'll hear from expert voices who can cut through the noise about the threats we all face—but you'll also hear from ordinary people, who confront the same issues. And as we share all these stories, we hope to keep it simple, without ever dumbing it down. We're more plugged in today than we've ever been—and while that brings great promise, it also means great challenges. Someone's always after something, from our dollars to our data. But we don't have to roll over. We can choose another way. In over a decade of protecting people's privacy and freedom online, we've learned a few things. Our community of millions has guided our every step, and our nonprofit foundation keeps us honest. Now it's time to put all that to use.

Video Description

How deep does the privacy rabbit hole go? Just ask Jameson Lopp, whose home was raided by the cops after online ransom-seekers targeted him with a false report. He vowed never to let his enemies get to him again. So he embarked on a journey to erase himself online — for real. In this video, join Jameson as he takes you through the layers of self-protection, from the easy surface steps that all of us can take, all the way down to the extreme depths of going off the grid. At each stage, he’ll explain the benefits you receive — and the sacrifices that come with them. 🔔 Don't miss our next video by subscribing today: https://www.youtube.com/@ProtonPrivacy?sub_confirmation=1 🔒 Take control of your data with Proton's end-to-end encrypted email, cloud storage, password manager, VPN, and more.
