✊ Tuta Mail to the EU: If you pass Chat Control, we’re forced to sue you.
We will never build backdoors or spy on our users. Privacy is a human right, guaranteed to everyone by the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights.

@Tutanota all good and well, but I've been trying to create an account, and it seems you have bugs in there. You asked that I send a message to approval@.., but the message does not send inside Tuta, when I come back to check, the message pops up, like it's waiting to be sent. Must be like this ? forcing me to send you a message from an external account, and now here on social media, totally negates all the security you offer. I sent a message to sales, seems very difficult to get hold of you.
@Tutanota sometimes I feel like the EU is becoming a Soviet Union 2.0
@Tutanota Respect to Tuta for standing firm. Privacy isn't a luxury it's a right. Thanks for choosing to fight for encryption and not compromise user trust. The internet needs more like you.
@Tutanota a recent take by @Em0nM4stodon suggests that might be some AI companies lobbying this shit. It's sweet-sweet government contracts they are after. I never look at this from such perspective, but once I did, it certainly makes sense. I find this atrocious and infuriating. It is just a living example of how these technologies transform the world into a modern day gulag
@Tutanota It's as if, every day, the police come to your house and search through your personal belongings, looking for something suspicious. And all this without a search warrant. It's completely crazy.
@Tutanota good luck!
(If that passes I'm going full openPGP)
@Tutanota@mastodon.social People who want to mandate backdoors either don't understand or don't care that any backdoor they can mandate, a nation-state threat actor can and probably will find and exploit.
@Tutanota i dont get that chat control. how does this work with open source messengers, like dunno, where encryption is client side and the server acts as a broker. how in snowdens name can you add a backdoor in there?
especially if you only act as broker with like a protocol that any app could implement.
like, if i encrypt my mail, is a 3 letter agency taking me to blacksite?!
Asking for a friend: whom is the best contact to join the legal battle against Chatcontrol, should it come into effect?
The proposals as stated have been requiring providers of e2ee messaging to do the backdoors, which would basically mean the corporate shit platforms get backdoored and the real stuff first fights then ignores the law if they don't win, and possibly gets removed from app stores, relegated to sideloading.
Nobody wants to be the party doing the backdooring. Apple is not going to step up to do it at the OS level, and ruin their reputation, when they can say "the regulation puts the burden on chat providers, not us" (except iMessage which they'd probably backdoor).
