Proton's approach to freedom and democracy is deeply rooted in its commitment to privacy as a fundamental human right.  They believe that true freedom of expression and democratic participation are impossible without secure and private communication channels. This philosophy is evident in their development of encrypted email and VPN services, designed to protect users from surveillance and censorship. By empowering individuals with tools to safeguard their online activities, Proton actively promotes a more open and equitable digital landscape.  Their financial support of nonprofits aligned with these values, as highlighted in the email, underscores their dedication to fostering a world where privacy and freedom are not just ideals, but realities.  They see their role as not only providing secure technology but also contributing to a broader movement that strengthens democratic principles in the face of increasing digital threats.
 

Thanks again Proton
