Realistically, the internet is probably one of the last places a user can expect privacy, as multiple watchers, such as our browser, the ISP, our email, and the government cons, constantly surveil us. From this reality, back in 2014, Proton Drive emerged from a meeting of multiple scientists that met at CERN, which perhaps not coincidentally was the birthplace of the World Wide Web in 1991.
Proton argued that users should not need to hand over so much personal data to use the Internet and should be able to regain their privacy. Aligning with this goal, Proton indicates that it does not sell its 100 million users' data to advertisers or third parties.
