Your data must be yours - not scanned, not used by AI.

That's why Tuta is end-to-end encrypted & private by design.

Switch today, on #DIDay

@Tutanota Can't wait to use Tuta Drive. I made the switch to Tuta last month and have no regrets.

@Khwarezm

@Tutanota

From my experience you also won't have them in the future ✌️

@dexternemrod @Tutanota

Interesting, and why is that?

@Khwarezm

@Tutanota

I'm a customer for several years, never had issues / unavailability and the customer service is awesome.
So in the end: A service that runs, and the people behind it are the shiny sparkles that make it so woderful!

@dexternemrod @Tutanota

Oh nvm I misunderstood. Thought you're saying won't have them as Tuta not regrets 😅

But yeah, so far things work great for both my wife and me.

@Khwarezm

@Tutanota

Oh and one thing. In my opinion the most underrated feature: On Android (skip if you run iOS) the Tuta contacts completely integrate into Android. So you can store and sync your contacts with Tuta, instead of Google, and use them for calls or contact discovery of you messengers. (Needs to be enabled in the Tuta settings if I remember correctly).

@dexternemrod @Tutanota

That's a great feature indeed. I'm currently on iOS but planning to switch to a degoogled device in the future (Volla Phone or Fairphone with /e/ os)

@Khwarezm @dexternemrod @Tutanota

Volla and Fairphone dont have good privacy and security. E/os doesnt do a good job at protecting your data. If privacy and security is your goal.

iPhone does do a pretty good job, enable advanced data protection, have a strong password, remove permissions u dont need and enabling lockdown mode is also an option.

For Android, Google Pixel phone with grapheneOS is your best bet for privacy and security.
Open source and are also on mastodon:)

I don't trust in Apples privacy stories and the locked down ecosystem is also a nightmare.
GrapheneOS is the Gold standard but already LineageOS gives you a big advantage.
Where do your claims about Fairphone, Volla and e/os come from (this is a honest question)?

@dexternemrod @flotmjor938382 @Khwarezm Volla, Fairphone and /e/ don't provide bare minimum standard privacy and security patches or protections. Updates to the Linux kernel are barely provided and are cut off very prematurely. Fairphone 5 and earlier are on end-of-life kernels and not moving on from them as Pixels and other better maintained Android devices do. Fairphone 6 will have an end-of-life kernel soon. Patches to the userspace are months late and firmware/driver/HAL patches far more.
@dexternemrod @flotmjor938382 @Khwarezm GrapheneOS goes in the opposite direction from the Android Open Source Project where it preserves the standard updates and security features while adding major privacy and security improvements. Nearly everything else in the space including LineageOS go in the other direction. You should look at https://eylenburg.github.io/android_comparison.htm for a decent overview, although the update information at the bottom is based on the best case for the best supported devices, not average.

/e/ and Murena have repeatedly claimed strong privacy and security mainly benefits criminals. They aligned themselves with the authoritarian crackdown on encryption and secure devices in France. Their products make people worse off and they clearly don't share the values or goals of actual privacy projects.
