Tuta

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ Russia wants China's Great Firewall

After Tuta Mail, it's now also blocking #Signal & #WhatsApp to stop its citizens from using #encryption

Together with @torproject, @fightforfuture and others we are standing up to say: Stop! โœŠ

Everyone deserves #privacy.

@Tutanota @torproject @fightforfuture Well I guess you have to write the letter as a point of principle, but don't expect anything from murderer Putin!

@Tutanota @torproject @fightforfuture Please keep up the good work. There's no such thing as perfect security, but you and some others really try. I wish more people understood what's going on.

@Tutanota @torproject @fightforfuture even with VPN?

@detonator @Tutanota @torproject @fightforfuture The answer to your question is in the linked 'open letter'... ;)

But sure, VPN is based on specific protocols which of cause can be filtered. One can try obfuscation e.g. with tools as Shadowsocks (https://shadowsocks.org/doc/what-is-shadowsocks.html).
