1. Proposal to build supporting infrastructure and unions for citizen involvement in privacy and security related politics

   I believe that we need more knowledge and information on how to effectively fight against anti-privacy and security regulation as citizens. EDRi does a good job, but their reach seems limited. As Proton is build on the concept of protecting individual rights to privacy and security, and as recent and current regulation-reforms are actively are undermining these pillars of the Proton platform, which of course are also pillars of a healthy democratic society, I believe that all this is a core fight for Proton and its users.

   I whish for better information on how individual actions can more effectively influence the democratic machinery. A lot of people are only involved in democratic process when it is time to vote. I have slowly learned that we have much more individual power than that.

   I believe that we need better educational tools to help people realize how this kind of individual democratic power actually works, and how to use it. We also need better tools to assist in coordinating our energy for the most important fights. Actually, a platform like this one, where users can choose a topic and submit proposals for what would be important, and then vote on the most important submissions, would be great.
   The impact of this effort could then be amplified by combing it with collaborative and community inclusive projects, moderated and lead by experts in the field, to gather information, and create more easily consumed knowledge with regards to these most influential proposals, informing on what a proposal with regards to background, stakeholders, impact on society on on different levels, while focusing on democratic health and individual rights. The idea of having readily available and easily consumable high quality materials available for the mechanics behind the process of decitionmaking feels like a high value proposal to me. Especially if it is based on open-information and open moderation with an open review kind of approach, where individual review or ratings are made by researchers and other equally competent people.

   Making a EU wide union with EDRi and others, who has the same agenda, would be great.

   My proposal is basically to support or create a better infrastructure for community involvement in politics, mixed with a community driven but expert moderated platform for education and for aggregating the best value per effort strategies for action.

   I would start on the topic of privacy and security as is relevant for Proton platform with acute attempts in EU to undermine the platforms foundation, which would have consequences for its global userbase.

   The big example right now, is the EU proposal ”retention of data by service providers for criminal proceedings”, for which, I believe, the deadline is on the 12th of September 2025.

   Exsisting ideas to support with regards to this example:

   EDRi's guide to answering the EU questionaire.

   Tools for identifying relevant politicians with the power to influence the current proposal, such as the following:

   While your request is likely something that would be of great use in the fight for privacy, it is out of scope for this forum.

4. Proton AG might want to step up, and buy the Top Level Domain '.Proton'

   Proton AG might want to step up, and buy the Top Level Domain '.Proton'

   It adds prestige and credibility to the brand.

   Examples: JohnDoe@mail.proton, VPN.proton, Drive.proton, etc...

   It's much nicer than 'proton.me'.

6. Don’t ask candidates to Connect on LinkedIn

   Don’t ask potential candidates for your job postings to “Connect on LinkedIn”. LinkedIn is not trustworthy. It is the equivalent of Facebook for job hunters with candidate information shared widely. It is a known trove of information used for social engineering. Thank you.

7. Perspective on Proton's Product Development

   I observe that a predominant number of individuals are expressing similar desires, primarily focused on new additions to the Proton product line. These range from requests for a Proton-managed and optimized SearXNG instance, functioning as a search engine, to surprising appeals for a new operating system.

   While some of these ideas possess merit, they seem somewhat disconnected from the actual needs of both individuals and businesses. As a Visionary account holder, I utilize Proton to address the requirements of both my family and my company. In both contexts, there are more critical features missing in Proton's offerings than the introduction of an entirely new operating system. Our objective shouldn't be to reinvent the wheel. However, most individuals, despite having the necessary skills, lack the time to manage:

   Their own mail server (e.g., Roundcube);
   A combined contact, cloud drive, and co-editing platform (such as NextCloud);
   An e-meeting platform (like Jitsi);
   A personal password manager (KeePass);
   A private messaging protocol (Matrix).
   

   Users like us prefer to focus our energies on our areas of expertise without compromising privacy.

   Proton is the company closest to realizing this vision, yet there remains a significant gap. This proximity is not necessarily due to being the best in its field (which might be the case, but that is not my primary concern) but because the team has earned our trust.

   I am generally reluctant to write or request features, as there are professionals employed by our contributions who are tasked with exactly this. Moreover, as this forum indicates, customers often do not precisely know what they need.

   From my dual perspective as a family man and a business owner, I have recently transitioned our company's suite from Google to NextCloud, while managing family email and calendars with Proton. However, these systems do not integrate seamlessly. I would prefer to consolidate everything under Proton, but this is currently infeasible due to the absence of:

   Integrated meeting and calendar solutions (akin to Jitsi and NextCloud Calendar);
   Contact backup capabilities;
   Co-editing features (attempts to collaborate on files saved in Proton Drive via LibreOffice have proven challenging).
   

   These are my primary requirements.

   Given that my company fully embraces and supports Open Source software, I would also appreciate greater attention to Linux distributions.

   I recognize that Linux holds a minimal market share and do not expect Proton's developers to focus exclusively on porting applications to Debian, Android, or HarmonyNext (the latter of which my company is keenly exploring).

   In conclusion, I encourage the Proton Team to continue their excellent work. There is always room for improvement, as is the case with any endeavor.

8. Privacy Party for 20,000 servers and/or 150 countries.

   I'm not sure if anything like this has been done before, but as a very early supporter of Proton, I would like to see some celebration for the upcoming milestone(s) of Proton VPN being available on 20,000 servers and/or across 150 countries.
   This could be in the form of a convention, or public Proton Meet events, or even just a newsletter with pics of the staff celebrating their achievements over the past few years.
