Big Tech's love to preach "privacy this" & "privacy that" but in reality they track & collect your data.

Today we take a look at what privacy washing is, and why companies like #Gmail & #Facebook use it to gain your trust 👉 https://tuta.com/blog/big-tech-privacy-washing

@Tutanota Nice awareness. Although I have been using #Disroot as my primary mail service provider since 2018 (just after OpenMailBox was sold), I have recently added #Tuta as a secondary. (Recommendations from https://www.fsf.org/resources/webmail-systems)

Btw, I have been using #K9Mail (becoming #Thunderbird now) since a decade on my Android phone.

I have found that Tuta is not supporting IMAP/SMTP protocols and hence I will have to install Tuta's Android application. How does it works without these protocols?

E evitare #GMail come la peste?

Un dominio con casella email costa pochi euro l'anno ed offre notevoli vantaggi al di là della mail, ma se proprio non si può, ci sono #DisRoot, #Autistici, #ProtonMail, etc...

☕ Fedi. Few days ago, on disroot’s hangout xmpp room some of us were talking about the fact google is trying their best to seal off the possibility for meta search engines like searx to pull search results.

Of course the only good solution is to finally make / us our own independent search engine, one that is fully open source one where crawling is distributed and one where we the people are in control of.

I know about yacy but havent used it in a while so would be good to try it out after years. However someone posted about this project: https://mwmbl.org https://alpha.mwmbl.org

So I set it as my default search on the browser and I will see how good it is.

Are there plans for #Disroot hosting it?
