Automated ad displays enable shady players on the web not only display their content to targeted audiences, it even helps them
make money and build a whole business based on sensationalism and fake news. Whether it's about
climate change denial

to thrive.
This fall, Apple is planning to release iOS 15 which will begin scanning your devices and iCloud for known images depicting the sexual abuse of minors.
Apple is attempting to assuage the public and claims that these features will scan personal devices and cloud storage “while designing for user privacy.”
Is this yet another case of invasive surveillance hidden under the guise of protecting the children or is Apple attempting to walk the fine line between preventing
the spread of abusive material and protecting user privacy?
Beginning of July, the European Parliament has adopted a derogation for the ePrivacy regulation that allows companies
to scan all private messages of all EU citizens, including chat messages and emails.
The only good news about this is that scanning of private messages is voluntary. We can guarantee that your Tutanota
messages remain private and will not be scanned. Here is why this piece of legislation
is frighteningly bad.
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it's another piece of surveillance software. This week we have been exposed to the
Pegasus scandal. Pegasus is a piece of malware, publicly advertised and sold by the NSO Group
that can infect mobile devices with little to no action
required by the phone owner. The extensive eavesdropping made possible by Pegasus violates multiple laws. Thus, selling
such tool must be banned - just like the trade in nuclear weapons is banned.
The secure email service Tutanota was the first encrypted email service, launched in March 2014. With its built-in encryption, Tutanota automatically
secures the entire mailbox, address book, and now also a calendar. Tutanota is being praised by journalists
and users alike for its innoative secure approach. Here's a collection of reviews focusing on
Tutanota. Read on to decide whether it is
time to make a fresh start with a Tutanota email address!
In the early morning hours of June 8th, 2021 search warrants were executed around the globe and the users of custom
devices with the encrypted messaging application AN0M were arrested on a wide variety of criminal charges. The
application was developed by FBI, "secure" devices were distributed, and global law enforcement agencies got to
work processing the remarkable amounts of data they were being freely given. This case shows why people interested in
protecting their privacy must only trust open source applications.
Secure email service Tutanota
has recently published Secure Connect, an open source encrypted contact form, that lets anyone get in touch with you securely encrypted -
directly on your website. For the first time, any website can easily offer an
encrypted communication channel to all their website visitors.
Earlier this year, we have asked what you think about Tutanota, and thousands of you took part in our
questionnaire. We would like to thank you for your honest and open feedback.
Here are the most important results and insights into how your answers will influence our development!
Our approach to add post-quantum secure encryption to Tutanota has now been published. After having completed
a working prototype, this is another milestone for the PQmail project! Now we are excited to hear feedback on our
approach and to implement the new encryption protocol into Tutanota.
To protect the children! This is what politicians often state as the main argument when they push
for weakening or banning encryption. So let's find out what current surveillance
methods, namely the monitoring of telecommunications, is being used for in Germany.
