Supporting press freedom with digital security tools

At Proton, we believe privacy is essential to a free and democratic society. Without it, there can be no open debate, no constructive dissent, and no real press freedom. Yet around the world, journalists are under attack. Emboldened governments are using surveillance, censorship, and legal threats to silence independent voices. As these threats grow, many reporters still lack the tools and awareness to defend themselves. “Not many are fully aware of the digital implications of not using a VPN, not using encrypted messages, not choosing very secure passwords,” one expert told us. To help mitigate these risks, we’re now offering significant discounts to journalists and newsrooms. This continues our longstanding tradition of providing direct support to journalists, activists, and others who align with our mission to build an internet where freedom is the default.
