Thu, 16 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://tuta.com/blog/amazon-alternativeshttps://tuta.com/blog/amazon-alternativesWhatever you need – whether it is technology, clothes, decorations or even food – Amazon has it. One click and it is on its way to you. As the leading online market provider worldwide, Amazon owns the monopoly when it comes to online shopping. At Amazon you can buy basically anything, but at what cost? Over the last couple of years not only has the company faced scrutiny, for its working conditions, for example, but also its founder has faced some backlash over his excessive wealth and lifestyle. Luckily, there are European alternatives available so you can become independent from Jeff Bezos and his Big Tech company.Mon, 13 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://tuta.com/blog/meta-ai-feature-lets-people-edit-your-instagram-pictureshttps://tuta.com/blog/meta-ai-feature-lets-people-edit-your-instagram-picturesAs the AI race continues, Meta’s latest attempt to keep up is its new AI image generator, Muse Image. This AI tool, available in Instagram, WhatsApp, and Meta's AI app, allows users to create AI-generated images or use AI to make edits on existing photographs. It’s not surprising that Meta has taken its AI capabilities a step too far by allowing Instagram users to manipulate other users' pictures with AI, if the user’s profile is set to public. Some Meta users might embrace AI’s image editing capabilities, but for others, the fact that someone could edit their images on Instagram with AI is enough of a concern to make them stop using Meta’s products altogether – and we don’t blame them!Sat, 11 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://tuta.com/blog/voluntary-scanning-google-microsofthttps://tuta.com/blog/voluntary-scanning-google-microsoftDid you know that every time you send an email through Gmail or Outlook, post on Instagram, or chat on Facebook Messenger or LinkedIn, your messages are being scanned? That’s right: While Chat Control is heavily debated as one of the worst surveillance laws, Big Tech has silently put scanning practices in place that already do what privacy activists are fighting against in the Chat Control legislative process. The surveillance is global, constant, and affects most people without them even knowing about it.Fri, 10 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://tuta.com/blog/tuta-one-click-migration-closed-betahttps://tuta.com/blog/tuta-one-click-migration-closed-betaBefore everyone enjoys the summer break we have one more update on what’s new, improved, and coming soon in your encrypted apps.

Unfortunately, the tech giant has now resumed this. This means that if your organisation uses Windows and is running Microsoft 365 Apps Version 2511 or later, the Copilot app will automatically install in the background. Admins must follow these steps to prevent the automatic installation of the Microsoft 365 Copilot app. Fri, 03 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://tuta.com/blog/countries-ditching-microsoft-choosing-linux-digital-sovereigntyhttps://tuta.com/blog/countries-ditching-microsoft-choosing-linux-digital-sovereigntyIn April 2026, the French minister for public accounts Daniel Amiel announced France’s plan to move all government computers – the computers of 2.5 million civil servants – from Microsoft to Linux. The minister’s announcement is part of a bigger trend called ‘digital sovereignty’. This post gives you an overview of what this exactly means and which countries have already taken first steps to free themselves from Big Tech to become digitally sovereign.Thu, 02 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://tuta.com/blog/best-private-browsershttps://tuta.com/blog/best-private-browsersYour choice of web browsers is the crucial link between yourself and the world wide web.

Sun, 28 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://tuta.com/blog/anthropic-shutdownhttps://tuta.com/blog/anthropic-shutdownThe hype around Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues as its technology is rapidly advancing. Among the leading companies in the artificial intelligence industry is Anthropic. The company made headlines in June when it shut down its most advanced AI models Fable 5 and Mythos 5 worldwide, just three days after its release. The shut down came as a reaction of the US government ordering Anthropic to suspend access to its AI models to foreign nationals due to national security concerns. Has the Trump administration now set a precedent for a new tech sovereignty era?Thu, 25 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://tuta.com/blog/interview-with-project-lead-from-cryptpadhttps://tuta.com/blog/interview-with-project-lead-from-cryptpadIf you're a fan of Tuta Mail and are now on the lookout for an open-source, end-to-end encrypted collaboration tool, CryptPad may be the perfect solution for you.

The new “Intelligent Search Box” may seem exciting, but this push for AI-powered search does have negative consequences for you and for the people and companies that have worked hard and are reliant on Google Search to run their businesses. This advance for users to interact with and use AI-search is benefiting the tech giant behind it – Google – but killing the open web and will only increase Google’s monopolistic power. Tue, 16 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://tuta.com/blog/age-verification-kills-anonymityhttps://tuta.com/blog/age-verification-kills-anonymityAge verification as a method to protect children from harmful content has been around since the early 2000s, for instance to prevent children from accessing sites like Pornhub, YouPorn, and Redtube. But now, stricter age verification laws with advanced and privacy-infringing verification methods are being introduced, and could also apply to YouTube, X (Twitter), Reddit, Discord, and more. As Big Tech companies start implementing measures even before the laws are being passed, more than 370 scientists warn against ID checks and facial recognition as these could kill anonymity, enable unprecedented surveillance measures, and limit the freedom of the internet. Wed, 10 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://tuta.com/blog/best-email-for-businesshttps://tuta.com/blog/best-email-for-businessIf you’re a startup founder, a freelancer, or an established business owner, you’ve probably asked yourself, “Should I just stick with Gmail or Outlook, or is there something better?” While Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 are powerful, they often come with hidden costs, privacy trade-offs, AI add-ons, and unnecessary complexity. There is also Zoho Mail, which is cheaper and offers a suite of apps, but it’s based in India and does not offer top privacy. An alternative to these Big Tech email providers is Tuta Mail, which is GDPR compliant and end-to-end encrypts emails by default. This German company offers businesses the best security and privacy. In this review, we compare these four different business email providers available on iPhone, Android, and desktop, so that you can choose the best one for your business communications in 2026. Mon, 08 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://tuta.com/blog/discord-alternativeshttps://tuta.com/blog/discord-alternativesI know, it can be hard to switch social media. Because social media is only fun, if the people you know or want to follow are also on it. Especially for Discord, a platform designed to build communities worldwide. But Discord has recently come under fire for wanting to introduce age verification checks - despite the fact that such a measure in the UK led to a major data breach in 2025. Because of this entire communities are looking for alternatives. And luckily, there are secure and privacy-oriented Discord alternatives available that have all your loved features as well. Fri, 05 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://tuta.com/blog/why-developers-choose-tuta-mailhttps://tuta.com/blog/why-developers-choose-tuta-mailDigital Sovereignty has become a popular discussion within the EU in the last year, but for many, making the switch to European tech, like Tuta Mail, has been a long time coming. We spoke to Rui Craveiro, a freelance full-stack software developer from Portugal with over 20 years of experience, to hear his thoughts on data privacy, digital sovereignty, and why he switched to Tuta's encrypted email, calendar, and contacts for work and personal use.

While talks were going on behind the scenes for a while, we are proud to officially announce our partnership now. Tue, 02 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://tuta.com/blog/republicahttps://tuta.com/blog/republicaBetween May 18 and May 20, 2026 the re:publica took place again at STATION Berlin under the motto “Never gonna give you up”. Attending re:publica this year was not only for me personally a first-time experience but also for Tuta – the company behind end-to-end encrypted Tuta Mail, Calendar and Drive. This event was quite impressive: seeing the who is who of digital activists, German politicians, and German tech companies that lead the change for digital sovereignty all meet and discuss in one place made me hopeful for our digital future, and also for our democracy.Fri, 29 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT
