Today is the day, the EU decides on Chat Control 1.0. Will they let the Trojan Horse through the gate and let Google, Microsoft, LinkedIn etc continue to scan all your messages?

We at Tuta say NO. 

❌ No scanning
❌ No mass surveillance
❌ No age verification

Instead we fight for:

✅ Encryption
✅ Privacy
✅ Open Source

And so should the EU. Stop #ChatControl now! 🥊

@Tutanota
Indeed we should protect children cuz they are the future tomorrow, they are the future generation and we should also teach them how things work so that day don't get troubled in the future @mr_masoto

@Joshua344 @Tutanota I read this as "teach children digital literacy", but it's more about two separate problems.

1. It's the parents job to secure a child's devices. Failing in doing so should be considered parental neglect
2. Politicians using FUD & the classic "won't somebody PLEASE think of the children" to gain more power over your life will deprive you of rights

Therefore mass surveillance is bad for your children, because it sets them up for a future where they're deprived of freedom.

@hopland @Joshua344 @Tutanota Agreed! "Protect the children" just sounds like an excuse for mass surveillance.

@Tutanota

And I tried to use your free offering as a trial multiple times over 4 years. I was paying @protonprivacy but I dont fund nazies or their sycophants. I was looking for a good EU mail provider.

And every time I tried, the accounts were just indefinitely frozen/crippled. Every. Fucking. Time.

@crankylinuxuser @Tutanota @protonprivacy Congrats, you moralled yourself out of using a service that respects your privacy. That'll show them.

@chrastecky @Tutanota @protonprivacy

Non-usable service is, well, non-usable.

I waited 2 and 3 days respectively to have them unfuck the account. Guess what - they never did.

So yeah wah wah about privacy respecting. I guess being non-functional is technically privacy respecting. Kinda defeats being an email service though.

@Tutanota BABA (BUY ANYTHING BUT AMERICAN)
@Tutanota i thought they'd decided against it already... Ffs 😮‍💨

@Tutanota

🤣 I always wondered what the ominous "future technology" looks like, that German gov is propagating.

@Tutanota Every time I see a new attempt at this, I remember those fedi people shushing me when I said how they cancelled Chat Control is anything but actually cancelling.

Anyway, this is never gonna stop, we have a new initiative to monitor us peasants to prevent us from revolting against the new-age nobility every two or so years.

@Tutanota I am waiting for the same vigor in child protection when it comes to not burn this planet! Curiously this does not seem to be an issue the @EUCommission, and the #EU in general, seem to take for too much.

Apart from my above statement, of course you are 100% correct.
