From the Team:

Hi, everyone!

As our yearly blog roundup promised, we're bringing you last month's top new blog articles. January turned out to be quite news-heavy, with posts analyzing the relationship between big tech and privacy concerns being the most prominent.

🥶 Outlook is now Microsoft's new data-collection service - Microsoft informed its users that they share their data with 772 third parties.

💲 Big Tech has already made enough money in 2024 to pay all its 2023 fines - Last year, Big Tech companies (Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft) received about $3 billion in fines for breaking laws. We discuss whether these fines are big enough in the given context.

🧽 The worst privacy washing of 2023 and trends to expect in 2024 - The false advertising Big Tech companies use to trick people into thinking their products are private is becoming the #1 threat to privacy.

Regarding the more practical articles we publish, most of you have been interested in how to set up a private email server, while the most popular piece of Proton-related news has been the price change of Proton Pass.

We'll keep rounding up top blog articles each month for you to make sure you're all caught up on the latest news and tips. You can follow our blog here (we have an RSS feed, too), and we welcome all your suggestions about what we should write about next! Let us know in the comment below.
