Major new updates from Proton, dating app privacy is worse than ever, a case of deepfakes in a school setting, uh-oh, and some unsettling research into phone keyboards, which is not good for your Android users. Welcome to Surveillance Report 175, where we are dedicated to keeping you private and secure, with the latest news in the past week. I'm Henry from Techlore.

As always, we have our normal promo segment, which at the moment is Patreon.

And also, if you don't like Patreon, we're also on Liberpay, and we're also on Monero. And all those things can be found in a description. We appreciate all the support you can give us. Without further ado, let's talk about the highlight story and get into the stories.

Okay, our highlight story this week is a collection of stories, actually. There are updates coming from Proton. First up, we have Dark Web Monitoring for credential leaks. This applies to everyone with a paid Proton plan. You can find it in the new Security Center in Proton Mail and in your Security and Privacy settings. Dark Web Monitoring scans hidden parts of the Internet for Proton mail email addresses that have ended up in illegal data markets. If our system detects a breach that affected one of your accounts used to sign up to a third party website, you'll receive a Security Center alert along with actions you can take to mitigate the risk. The next update is that Proton Pass is now available on Android. They said the after-oid distribution was a popular request among many members of the community and we are excited to announce that Android users can now secure their passwords and digital identity without having to hand over any personal data if they don't want to. Proton Pass will continue to be available on the Play Store as this is where most Android users prefer to get their apps. You can also download any Proton app from our Proton Apps page if you don't want to use a third party app store. Above all, we want to make sure that everyone has the freedom to make their own choices rather than be locked into the decisions of
