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

Should your boss be able to track everything you do? In many cases they already can. From keystroke loggers that capture unsent messages to location trackers that never really turn off, workplace surveillance has quietly crept into our daily lives. In this episode, Yasar Ahmad, a global HR leader for over 25k employees, exposes the many different ways companies can monitor employees — often without them even knowing. Proton’s own security expert, Josh Long, breaks down how corporate spyware works, what data gets collected, and what you can do to protect yourself. Whether you’re using a work laptop, a company phone, or logging in to Slack from home, this is a wake-up call for anyone who thinks their work device belongs to them.
