For decades, Europe turned to US tech instead of investing in its own innovation. Today, that choice has become a strategic liability. Our new study shows how deep that dependency runs — starting with email, the gateway to every company’s stack. The numbers should worry anyone who cares about Europe’s economy, security, or democracy. 📊 Read the full interactive study → https://lnkd.in/dBHiBjqx Proton offers a European, privacy-first stack: Swiss HQ, European hosting, end-to-end encryption, zero-access architecture, open source, easy migration. We're also proud supporters of the Eurostack, because one of the best ways to defend European values is to invest in EU-based companies. 💡 Find out more about our pledge → https://lnkd.in/dArvfFd6

Introducing Lumo: a privacy-first AI assistant by Proton, where all your conversations and documents are truly confidential. 🐈⬛ In just a few short years, what began as an artificial intelligence ‘gold rush’ has evolved into a multi-billion-dollar industry. On the one hand, there is considerable excitement about the capabilities of AI and how it might increase productivity. On the other hand, AI is dominated today by Big Tech, accelerating the surveillance-capitalism business model built on advertising, data harvesting, and exploitation. Lumo by Proton is an alternative take on what AI could be if it puts people ahead of profits. Lumo is a private AI chat app, like ChatGPT, that allows you to enjoy the benefits of AI without compromising your data and privacy. Lumo is European, open-source and auditable, and does not record or track your conversations. Lumo is an AI where every conversation is actually private. → Read more about Lumo and what inspired us to develop it in the first place: https://lnkd.in/d-G8gkpv → Try Lumo for free – no sign-up or account required at lumo.proton.me.

Gemini is replacing Google Assistant quietly, and without your consent. Google’s new AI is rolling out by default across Android devices, with deep integration into your calendar, email, messages, and more. Even with activity tracking turned off, Gemini still has access. In this post, we break down: 💡 What Gemini can access 💡 How your data is used 💡 Why should you care 💡 What you can do to limit it 🔒 Protect your data from AI overreach. With Proton, your emails, files, calendar events, and passwords are protected by end-to-end encryption, meaning not even Proton can access them, let alone train AI or share with third parties. Head over to our blog for more useful tips to take back control → https://lnkd.in/dwyedTGw
