#ChatControl is OFF the table for now. 💪

But the Danish Minister of Justice and chief architect of the current Chat Control proposal, Peter Hummelgaard, wants to bring it back in December.

😡 He now even claims your activism was paid for by Big Tech! 😡

We must keep fighting for #encryption and our right to #privacy 🔒️

India first democracy to ban encrypted messaging apps on massive scale.

Only days before Press Freedom Day, India banned apps for secure communication because of "terrorists" use.

This makes India the first democracy to act like Russian or Iranian autocrats.

Encrypted messages are under attack: The crypto wars continue.

The German Ministry of the Interior wants to force WhatsApp, Threema and Apple to decrypt encrypted messages. But a backdoor for the "good guys" only is impossible.

TutaNov 3, 2018

A backdoor is a vulnerability by definition. When Politicians demand backdoors to encryption, they are not asking us to choose between security and privacy. They are asking us to choose no security: https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/why-a-backdoor-is-a-security-risk

#Fight4Privacy #No2Backdoors

Global Encryption Day: Any backdoor would do more harm than good.

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

You mean it's kinda centralized email provider system that ultimately holds all the communication and meta data exposing itself to be visited by the none existing agencies and to probably become extorted sooner or late to comply with the respective rulers in charge?

That's a strange proposal and outlook don't you think @buzzdee?

Same Ed Snowden quote but in spanisch/deutsch/englisch:

"Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say."

@not2b @Tutanota Well, it maybe because facebook has your keys and can give access to any government should they ask I suppose...
Show threadJoeMay 14, 2023
@dieTasse @Tutanota No, that isn't how end to end encryption works. At least for one to one messages they have no ability to decrypt the message. But if you don't trust them because Facebook bought them you can use Signal.
Show threaddieTasse has movedMay 14, 2023
@not2b @Tutanota Haha, end to end does mean what it says, you encrypt, receiver decrypt. But if someone has your keys, they can decrypt as well. And yes facebook has those keys on their servers and they likely have access to those keys. I remember how people were surprised that facebook ads showed stuff they mentioned only on whatsapp. I do use Signal. I wouldn't trust Facebook, or any of big tech company for that matter.
Show threadJoeMay 14, 2023
@dieTasse @Tutanota That isn't how end to end encryption works. A key is generated on each device. It is public key encryption. The private key never leaves your device. Signal and WhatsApp use the same technology.

Show threadJoeMay 17, 2023
@dieTasse @Tutanota Oh, I don't trust him. They collect metadata, for instance (who is talking to whom). When a message is flagged as abusive it is sent to moderators (similarly if you send someone a Signal message they can forward it to the cops). But no, I don't believe you get ads because of things you said on WA.

@dieTasse
The same is true of any software. I assume that if, for example, you use Signal that you check every line of source code and then compile from that. You can't trust the binary as that could contain backdoors. I have neither the expertise or the time to do that anyway, so trust is all I have.
That said, I put my trust in Signal and Threema.
