@Tutanota

i'll learn from anywhere, anyone.. thanks

@Tutanota what can i do?

@Tutanota Oh my. Bye bye Threema. Bye bye SecureSafe.

@Tutanota Just out of curiosity, if you use your own email client and send GPG/PGP encrypted email, how does an email provider decrypt it?

Sometimes encryption is a necessity even if privacy isn't an issue. Example: I've used encryption to send a JAR file to a friend for testing: he had a gmail account and Google
doesn't allow JAR files as email attachments to "protect the user". This hid it from
Google's software. It wasn't really secret - the password was in the email's text.

@Tutanota Really curious about what this means for Quad9. I'd hate to have to find another DNS provider.

@Tutanota I'm sure this is a complete coincidence:

@Tutanota wonder why there was a recent USA/swiss deal?

@Tutanota Oh fuck! What does this mean for all the Swiss-based privacy and security platforms, like Proton?

I mean, Proton's CEO Andy Yen already showed his true colors by advocating for Trump's support of little guy "tech startups" (read: Sillycon Valley broligarchs), so I'm already transitioning out of Proton's ecosystem.

@Tutanota Why do I get the feeling that lately, in so many countries, new regulations are popping up with only one purpose - to erode privacy 🔓? It feels like a bad joke. I can't keep up anymore.

I wish I could fight them all at once, put pressure everywhere 🌍, no matter where I live. But I don't have the time. I'm already drowning in an endless to-do list.

Why couldn't the government set a different deadline? Why are they so determined to push this through? My mind can't wrap around it I just hope they come to their senses and never implement it 🙏

@Tutanota need to close my proton account

@Tutanota
Not only do these people want to control your thoughts, they also want to steal your ideas : hence the decrypting.

@Tutanota does absolutely nothing but restrict freedoms under the illusion of security. Directly paves the way for a techno fascist authoritarian police state

@Tutanota

@Tutanota

yes, learning that, it killed proton for me.

@Tutanota proton mail?

@Tutanota

Switzerland has quickly gone from being the country with the best internet laws to the country with the worst.

@Tutanota After all that I hope big companies will understand and will not start to cry and ask from the governments mandatory laws so people have! To use their technology products because they loosing money and power because many people will stop or don't want to use them any more...

@Tutanota Meanwhile, here in the EU, they're readying Chat Control for another run. What did we do to deserve this timeline?

@Tutanota So ... How bout all those "privacy" SaaS providers based in Switzerland....
