Thank you to everyone who took the time to share why privacy matters to them, we loved reading these! Our birthday giveaway is now officially closed. A big congratulations to @steevecooling for winning! 🎉🥳

Stay tuned for our next giveaway. 😊

@Tutanota Internet #privacy matters to me because we should not accept the monetisation of our personal information.

We should be users and customers, rather than a currency to exchange with data brokers.

@Tutanota

#privacy is important not because of freedom or whatever dumb reasons people give (it’s a good reason just not the best one), but because the less information is shared about me online, the less people can use it to impersonate me, and use that to scam people I love.

My dad, an influential recruiter, got impersonated once, and that was especially dangerous since he worked with refugees and very vulnerability victims. I don’t want that to happen to my loved ones!

@Tutanota

There needs to be guardrails, hard lines that companies can't cross. Why should users suffer because we're looking for the best prices or have information about our health leak out. When people are the product, we're all devalued.

@Tutanota #privacy matters to me 'cause I'm mysterious 

but mostly because fascist will come for fags like me soon enough yet.  

@Tutanota

Privacy isn't about hiding. It's about choosing. What you share and with who.

@Tutanota

Privacy matters for everyone.

The more people willingly give into spyware from big corporations like Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, etc, the more normalized it becomes, and the worse the surveillance state gets over time. A slow, gradual descent into a world where everything you do is tracked and used to profile you.

Privacy gives you freedom over your data, freedom to say or do what you want without a tech company using that data to make money off of ads and putting your entire life in an insecure database.

Most important of all though, privacy protects people. No privacy, easy to track people you don't like. Privacy protects people from tyranny and ensures everyone's voice is heard and uncensored.

Sorry for my little yap sesh mb.
