US authorities can see more than ever, with Big Tech as their eyes


Big Tech companies - Apple, Google, and Meta - have built a mass surveillance machine that the government can easily tap into.

This number doesn’t even include data requests made under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act(FISA), which are largely kept secret. These companies monitor your entire digital life, compiling a detailed profile that can be handed over at the government’s request or shared with a third party. Moreover, Proton’s end-to-end encryption ensures that even if we receive a valid request, we cannot access the content of your messages, files, or other sensitive information.
