#ChatControl must be stopped because it:

🚨 Undermines Europe's digital sovereignty

🚨 Weakens everybody's security

Gmail, Microsoft, Meta, LinkedIn: They already scan your messages - voluntarily! | Tuta

Voluntary Chat Control is already in place since 2021, named Regulation (EU) 2021/1232. Similar to scanning obligations in the UK and the USA, this regulation allows Big Tech to scan all your data. But what do services scan based on this regulation, do they also scan old messages, and what does this mean for data protection and privacy? A deep dive.

@Tutanota interesting numbers. I would be interested in the false positive rate of those flags

@Tutanota I can send messages over gmail that Google can't scan because gmail supports IMAP 4, and my mail client supports GPG encrypted email. Google can still see subject lines and email addresses, but not the contents of those messages. My open-source mail client is not provided by Google. The catch: I don't know people who normally use GPG.

@bzdev @Tutanota same for s/mime

@bzdev @Tutanota GPG is a perfect example of a tool that’s technically excellent and socially impossible. The encryption works. The problem is you need the other person to also care, and most people don’t.

@jg @Tutanota GPG is used a lot more than one would think if you include indirect uses such as signing Debian packages. For "in case the house burns down" backups, I wrote a program that sets up a LUKS file system on a flash drive and mounts it, with the LUKS password (a long random one) stored on the flash drive in a GPG-encrypted file. I keep the flash drive with my house keys and don't take my GPG keyring with me.

@bzdev @Tutanota Valid point...That's an interesting distinction. GPG in infrastructure scales fine because it's a single player decision. GPG in communication fails because it's multiplayer. Same tool but different adoption dynamics depending on whether you need the other person to participate.

@Tutanota How do you propose to detect people recruited by the KGB to commit acts of sabotage? https://theins.ru/news/278528
