Next Monday, the EU decides on Chat Control 2.0. 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. Call your local representatives! 🥊

Privacy is not negotiable. Speak up now. ✊ #Privacy

Curious if your emails are safe? Check here which providers scan your data:

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 "So at Tuta, your data will remain safe."

If only. Our outgoing emails still hit Microsoft, Google, and other Big Tech servers because doctors, lawyers, and other recipients of sensitive information use them. Even voluntary scans suck.

@placebo @Tutanota you are right, but you have a choice if you want to sent email to them.
What the EU wants to do is force scanning on email and chat.
And doctors offices etc should not use big tech.

@Crisper @placebo @Tutanota To "scan" unencrypted, plaintext e-mail is rather like kicking in an open door tho.

Chat, encrypted chat, is something else entirely. Unencrypted chat ... if in plaintext there is nothing to "scan"

@tina @placebo @Tutanota why do you thing tuta is fighting? If the EU forces providers of encrypted chat, mail etc ro build in a backdoor then its their forever, and the service is not secure, a backdoor cannot be created only for governments to spy on you.

@Crisper @placebo @Tutanota There IS no "encrypted mail" (well, only for one hop)

Kudos to them for fighting the idiocy, but let's focus.
