Encryption backdoors must never be allowed. To prove that Tuta is #free from any #backdoor, the entire client code is published as #opensource.

Let's fight against mass surveillance! ✊

@dallo Yes to all.

@dallo @wonkothesane @soydelbierzo @aral This was meant sarcastically. In the original, we changed the image to include a FAKE NEWS banner - because this article was made up entirely. It was during our early days, and we had to be creative to get people to know about Tutanota. However, the joke was not received too well so we took the post off our blog. Being Germans, we might not be the most competent in making jokes. ;) Sorry about that!

@dallo @wonkothesane @soydelbierzo @aral We would not use the exact same words as you...

At Tuta, we do not judge others, but we stand for equality, fairness, diversity, understanding. We want to make the web a better place, one where not only your data is respected (and protected with encryption), but also you as a person - no matter who you are.

You can better understand us and our values when checking out our jobs page: https://tuta.com/jobs

We'd like to hear your feedback!

Brave people asked us to include Brave as a Google Chrome alternative. In the original post, Brave was not included because it is based on Chromium.

What are your thoughts: Should we, or should we not include Brave in this image of Google alternatives? Why?

The location of your data cannot guarantee freedom from #surveillance. 📷

#Switzerland has long been treated as a safe haven for your #data, but the Swiss government actively works with the EU and US by sharing data with #law enforcement and #intelligence agencies. 🚨

The EU is moving forward with #eIDAS despite warnings from over 500 scientists & privacy advocates.

With no requirement that server-side code be released open source, we cannot be sure that our personal data is secure.😱

Thankfully, the #Pirates 🏴☠️ in the EU Parliament did manage to push for an #opensource release of the client-app & the eID will be voluntary.

This isn't over. EU citizens please contact your representatives and demand they respect our #privacy !🥊

It's #GlobalEncryptionDay!

Time to remind everyone that a backdoor "for the good guys only" is simply not possible.

By demanding encryption backdoors, politicians are not asking us to choose between security and privacy. They are asking us to choose no security. 👇

⚡️ BREAKING ⚡️ Today's vote on #chatcontrol has been postponed a second time!

EU countries can't find a compromise for chat control - and the EU Parliament is not even involved, yet.

This is a great sign that #chatcontrol - one of the most criticized EU laws ever - will fail.

⚡️ BREAKING ⚡️

Google reintroduces its motto "Don't be evil".

Twitter decides that paying users will see zero ads.

Facebook announces it will stop scanning direct messages.

Which of the above is an #AprilFool? 🤔

#Signal threatens to exit the UK if the Online Safety Bill weakened encryption.

But we will not make it so easy: We will not 'walk' from the UK.

If Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his government want to stop people in the UK to use strong encryption, he must block access to Tutanota - just like Russia and Iran.

The UK would be on the same level as authoritarian regimes like Russia & Iran.
