In other words, the very purpose of a VPN is to prevent the type of surveillance that Google engages in on a massive and unprecedented scale. Each day, hundreds of millions of internet users connect to a VPN to prevent their online activities from being tracked and monitored so that they can privately access web resources. VPNs have long been essential online tools that provide security, freedom, and most importantly, privacy. Against this backdrop, the announcement of a Google VPN is even more troubling. As the recent US and EU antitrust investigations highlight, Big Tech companies use their market dominance to disadvantage competitors and further their control over the internet, putting at risk essential rights, such as privacy, freedom of speech, and democracy.
We have also seen how Big Tech companies increasingly control every aspect of our lives, from what news we see to which apps we can use. We have seen authoritarian governments around the world, including in Hong Kong, Iran, Belarus, and many other places, increasingly clamp down on internet freedoms to maintain power against the will of their citizens. But the freedom and privacy of the internet are under attack. We have relied on the internet this year for work, entertainment, and to keep us close to family. I have a lot of good information to use and 2-3 options to consider as I migrate to proton.If there has ever been a year that demonstrates how central the internet is to society, it is 2020.
If there are any Outlook and Proton users that can weigh-in that would be helpful.Įdit: 2/1/22 Thanks everyone for all the informative and helpful replies. I am wiling to give up convenience for enhanced privacy & security, but would like some perspective on how much I'll be giving up. Should I plan on ditching Outlooks as well? If I convert all of e-mail providers to Proton and still use Outlook would I be defeating the purpose of moving to Proton in the first place? I'm happy to close those legacy e-mail accounts for good and move to something like Proton for the privacy & security but I make use of a lot of Outlook's features for planning & organizing.
I'm looking to increase my digital privacy and security online and wondering how much efficiency, organization, and convenience I may be giving up if I migrate fully to ProtonMail.įor some background I am currently using Outlook desktop and iPhone app to aggregate e-mails from 3 different providers for 7 legacy e-mail accounts.
