On Valentine's Day we'd like to thank all free software developers who contributed to Tuta. You are essential
for improving Tuta constantly. Today we are drawing attention to the I Love Free Software Day to show our love for open
source software and open source developers.
In a major surprise, end-to-end encrypted service provider Skiff has announced that they will be shutting down all their services as they merge with Notion.
All Skiff services will be closing in a period of 6 months. This is sad news for the privacy community as having more options for secure encrypted
communication is always a positive for growth, competition, and innovation. Yet, it is nothing new in the privacy scene. Tuta (formerly Tutanota) has been around for about
ten years now, and we have seen alternative services like Lavaboom, CTemplar, and now Skiff, coming and going. Regardless, you can rest assured that
Tuta is here to stay!

Google has built a huge monopoly with search - one that is finally being investigated at by the US Department of Justice. It
now became public that Google paid $21 Billion in 2021 alone to keep its search engine market share of staggering 90% - which is more than
1150 times as much as the tech giant pays for its lobbying efforts in the US and the EU. This is just a glimpse
of how much your data and attention is worth to Google. It's about time that we take back our data!
Free email accounts seem to be available by the hundreds, but there are quite some differences when it comes to privacy
and security of good email providers that do not charge you.
This guide will help you choose the best free email service to create a new email address with.
The statement "I have nothing to hide" is very popular. So is reversing it: Give me your email login, your Facebook login,
a copy of your WhatsApp chat. Most people will refuse instantly. But why do they still share their data freely with huge
corporations like Google and Facebook? On Data privacy Day it is time to quit these tracking machines and fight against surveillance capitalism.
When we redesigned the Tuta client back in 2017, we strictly focused on our mission to liberate everyone from being forced
to use Google’s services. New evidence now shows this was an excellent move as Google and Apple monitor all your push notifications.
But not so with Tuta: We offer one of the very few email
apps available without Google’s push notification service. Technically, this was a true challenge; so let's explain
how we succeeded!
After Google's announcement that it will prevent ad-blocking extensions in Chrome from doing their job, here's more bad
news if you have an old Google account: Starting in December Google will mass deleted unused Gmail and Drive accounts to free up
storage space. Find out whether your Gmail will be affected and how to prevent deletion.
Under FISA Section 702 the NSA can scoop up foreign communication in bulk. FBI Director Wray now admits that
the FBI uses this information to run so called backdoor searches for investigations on US citizens - without getting a warrant
for these searches. Now this backdoor access for the FBI could come to an end!
Microsoft will stop letting you create custom domain email addresses in Outlook.com - but we've got you covered.

The Internet as we know it is a magnificent space where everyone has the right to share their thoughts freely. Upcoming changes to
US Net Neutrality Laws are a positive sign for global internet freedom.
People living in dictatorships know why net neutrality is so important: Censorship, blocking of major sites or social
media platforms are normal to them. We must not give Internet Service
Providers (ISPs) the power over who can access what information online. Now is the time to back important US legislation to safeguard net neutrality!
The Online Safety Bill aims to make the UK "the safest place in the world to be online" - and it might actually become a law
later this year. However, criticism of the Online Safety Bill is never ending.
This UK bill aims to lay down rules in law about how platforms should deal with harmful content. But the plans for a
new "internet safety law" will do more harm than good and reduce everybody's security online. And the recent inabilities of
the UK government to protect data show that criticism of the Online Safety Act is more than appropriate.
