With no action from US Congress to pass a privacy bill anytime soon, we see more calls for the @FTC to fill the void.

While the FTC can address things like online data practices in certain circumstances, it is limited in what it can do to ensure Americans' privacy. (1/7)
Why is that?

1. The FTC is only as strong as Congress allows it to be (Congress determines its funding).
2. The FTC was created to tackle industrial giants that dominated the US economy over a century ago, and the laws haven't been updated for today's digital world. (2/7)
While it's possible for the FTC to issue regulations on its own, the process is slow and complicated. Also, the FTC's consumer protection powers apply to "unfair" and "deceptive" practices, meaning companies that disclose them in complex T&Cs are often let off the hook. (3/7)

The Swiss government released its SwissCovid contact tracing app yesterday. swissinfo.ch/eng/switzerlan… As many of our users have noted, the app’s use of Bluetooth makes you vulnerable to Google location tracking. Here's our perspective, as Switzerland's largest privacy company: 1/8
Switzerland’s app lets people infected with COVID-19 anonymously notify people they’ve been in contact with that they may also have contracted the virus. These people can then quarantine themselves, preventing further transmission of the disease. 2/8
SwissCovid uses the #DP3T protocol, which keeps all sensitive data stored locally on the users' device. Overall, the protocol is not too bad as we have explained here: protonmail.com/blog/privacy-c… However, it doesn't mitigate the privacy issues inherent to Android and Google. 3/8

The "Halvening" is upon us. Starting tonight, Bitcoin cut its reward for completing a block in half, from 12.5 #BTC to 6.25. The last time this happened in 2016, it was a prelude to a leap in value. Continue reading to learn how to buy and secure Bitcoin. #BitcoinHalving2020

Happy #WorldPasswordDay! Don't forget your security is only as strong as the weakest link. We have several resources to help you understand how passwords can be compromised and what you should do to protect them. Image
First of all, should you use a "password" or a "passphrase"? The answer is that it depends. Learn about the password vs. passphrase debate: protonmail.com/blog/protonmai…
Next, explore the considerations behind how long your password should be. It turns out, even some long passwords can be hacked, so "length" is not synonymous with "secure." protonmail.com/blog/how-long-…
