The Cyber Monday hype is just another method by marketers and advertisers to keep you buying. Higher, faster, further -
that's the aim of marketers. But for consumers it leads to over-consumption and unnecessary spending. That's why we are
saying no to Cyber Monday. Instead we are offering fair prices all year round.
The Black Friday hype is just another method by marketers and advertisers to keep you buying. Higher, faster, further -
that's the aim of marketers. But for consumers it leads to over-consumption and unnecessary spending. That's why we are
saying no to Black Friday. Instead we are offering fair prices all year round.
e-Evidence negotiations have put fundamental rights on the line in an attempt to make cross-border criminal investigations
more efficient. However, the cost for this efficiency would be very high.
We call on policymakers to do better. The EU Council must acknowledge the need for stronger protection of
Free Speech and privacy rights.
We are incredibly happy to let you know that all Tutanota apps now support offline mode. This brand-new feature enables
you to view your emails, calendars and contacts whenever and wherever you are - even if you do not have an internet
connection! On top of that, the new feature reduces loading time of the Tutanota app immensely.
Imagine a world where everyone bins their trash, no one crosses a red light and everyone pays their taxes so that schools
are always well funded. This sounds like a nice utopia. But add to this surveillance cameras, face recognition, and
the requirement to always praise the government. Now it sounds like an Orwellian nightmare come true: Meet China's
Social Credit System.
New year, new students! Every year we onboard at least two students doing a dual studies program to support young
people with their education. This winter semester, Nikita and Colin joined our software development team.
As they already have experience, they started right away with improving our website.
Once upon a time there was a father who used Google for everything: email, calendar, photos, logins. But then he shared naked
pictures of his son with their children's doctor via Gmail. This got his entire Google account blocked. It was flagged for distributing child
pornography or CSAM (short for child sexual abuse material). Even though the investigation was quickly closed,
Google's block remained in place. This father lost access to years of email conversations, calendar entries, photos, and more.
This example shows how harmful scanning for CSA material is. Instead we need security and privacy online!
We have released a new version of Tutanota, which brings great improvements to all Tutanota clients, but in particular
on mobile devices. With this update, we are sticking to our design specifications of having a clear and
simple design with a lot of space for the important things: Your encrypted emails.
Tutanota is a secure freemium email service that protects your data with built-in encryption. We make sure that you can
store your emails and contacts securely encrypted in Tutanota. While you can easily access your
encrypted emails on every device, nobody else can spy on your data. This high level of security is only possible
because of people valuing their right to privacy by going Premium. In return, you benefit from a lot
of extra features as a Premium, Teams or Pro user.
Today the EU Commission will present unprecedented legislation that would require online service providers to
automatically and indiscriminately monitor digital correspondence and scan all data for potential child sexual exploitation material (CSAM).
This would make all of your communication via
chat and email subject to mass surveillance. But the truth is: There are better ways to save the children than putting
every EU citizen under constant surveillance, and we
have data to prove this.
Today is German Unity Day: On October 3rd in 1990, Germany became one. At the same time it became a
truly democratic country. The oppressive system of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) ended and with it an immense
surveillance apparatus disappeared. This is an extremely joyful moment to all Germans. Nevertheless, this day also
has to remind us that we can't take the freedoms we currently enjoy in Germany for granted.
Today we are very excited that our desktop clients for Windows, MacOS and Linux are going to end their beta phase. We
first published the desktop clients in December 2018. Two and a half years later, the clients are so advanced that
they are ready to be used by every Tutanota user.
