#285 - Big Tech and the government have conspired against you
About this episode
Andy Yen discusses the implications of Big Tech's surveillance and the importance of privacy in the digital age.
Andy Yen founded Proton — encrypted email, VPN, cloud storage. Today, over 100 million people worldwide protect their privacy with his service. He deliberately built his company in Switzerland — because of its privacy laws. Proton is one of the very few European tech brands with truly global scale. In this conversation, he explains why Big Tech knows more about you than any intelligence agency, why he thinks it's insane to use Google — and why Europe is about to throw away its biggest advantage. ---------- Sponsoren: (WERBUNG) https://linktr.ee/ungeskriptet_werbepartner Take your personal data back with Incogni!
