ProtonMail was founded in 2014 to build a better internet where privacy is the default, and to protect activists, journalists, and ordinary people from online surveillance. We are activists ourselves, and over the years we have supported movements around the world from Hong Kong to Belarus to Myanmar, both with our products and through direct …

我們認為要讓世界變得更美好，必須要先建構一個保護隱私的網際網路。基於這個理念，我們於 2014 年 5 月創建了 ProtonMail。 今日，在 ProtonMail 問世 7 週年之際，我們想回顧這個歷程並感謝一路上幫助我們取得今天成就的所有人。 Proton是由相聚於 CERN 的科學家共同創建。CERN 是全球資訊網（World Wide Web）的誕生地，也是孕育Proton的搖籃。 在過去 7 年裡，隨著人們選擇 ProtonMail、ProtonVPN 和其他 Proton 產品來保護自身隱私，我們的規模也急速增長。ProtonMail 在2014 年時，仍被視作小眾產品，因為當時「打造隱私優先的網際網路」被認為是一個瘋狂的想法。但這個理念在今天卻似乎已成為一種共識。 我們認為人們對隱私權態度的轉變將使世界變得更美好，而我們也自豪 Proton 及我們的社群自始一路引領這個趨勢變革。 若要用字面詮釋，Proton 為人類而生，也依人類為生。 那場結果超乎預期的群眾募資以及你們在過去 7 年的持續支持造就了今日的我們 ──  Proton 不斷茁壯，並打造了更多專注於保護隱私的新服務，包括 ProtonVPN、Proton Calendar 和 Proton Drive。 我們一同更活躍於談論隱私權，例如提倡注重保護隱私的服務、對大型科技公司和政府監控提出質疑，並呼籲各界制定更完善的資料保護法。 有你們同在，我們也能一起重建網際網路，讓網路用戶重新掌握自身的資料分享權。 繼續向理想邁進 今日，已有超過 5000 萬人註冊 Proton 的服務，印證隱私權正逐漸成為主流價值。 如果沒有 Proton 社群擁護隱私，這一切都不可能發生。 然而，我們還有許多任務在身。 現在，仍然有數十億人在使用沒有保障用戶核心利益的網際網路，他們的資料仍被用於謀取利益。 …

In May 2014, we created ProtonMail on the premise that an internet where privacy is the default is essential to building a better world.
