Privacy, release notes and other stuffhttps://tuta.comen-ushttps://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, 16 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://tuta.com/blog/eu-chance-to-force-big-techhttps://tuta.com/blog/eu-chance-to-force-big-techCountless studies and scientists have proven it over the course of time: Big Tech – as it is built right now – is not only a danger for its users due to its addictive-making features but it is also a danger for democracy. Because Big Tech platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and X with their algorithm-based feeds, influence what we see, what we feel, what we think and – even more worrying – who we vote for. Hence, the time is up to sanction Big Tech with one fine after the other, but to finally make them change for the better – forever! This change will allow us, as citizens of a democracy, to have a fair and free chance to make up our opinions – without being influenced by Big Tech algorithms.Tue, 15 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://tuta.com/blog/tuta-mail-shared-mailboxes-get-aliaseshttps://tuta.com/blog/tuta-mail-shared-mailboxes-get-aliasesTuta Mail’s shared mailboxes keep getting better. Weather you use shared mailboxes as a team of two, or a larger team at work, its features are built to make sharing mailboxes and email collaboration a seamless and easy experience. Today we’re excited to announce that you can now use aliases in shared mailboxes and shared mailboxes are now collapsible – a small but nice organization improvement!

Fri, 11 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://tuta.com/blog/berlin-data-leakhttps://tuta.com/blog/berlin-data-leakAfter a countdown had expired, a hacker group leaked millions of terabytes of sensitive and critical data of Berlin’s administration on the dark web. This never-seen-before data breach affects thousands of Berlin citizens who had communicated with the Senate Department for Housing. The unprecedented attack has not only caused a cyber security crisis in the capital of Germany but also raises the question: How secure is Germany’s IT-infrastructure, really?Thu, 10 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://tuta.com/blog/development-feature-listhttps://tuta.com/blog/development-feature-listTuta offers innovative end-to-end encrypted email, calendar, contacts and drive solutions that take your privacy seriously.

In this guide we take a look at Dropbox's security features and how safe and private the cloud storage really is. Fri, 04 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://tuta.com/blog/meta-trial-settlementhttps://tuta.com/blog/meta-trial-settlementIn August, the Big Tech corporation Meta, the company behind Facebook and Instagram, faced what would have become its biggest legal challenge yet. The accusation: Meta purposely designs addictive features in its products, namely in Facebook and Instagram, which harm young teenagers. But the Silicon Valley tech giant avoided going through the whole trial by reaching a $18 bn settlement beforehand. A settlement that could change social media as we know it and that further underlines that the accusation does not come out of nowhere.Thu, 03 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://tuta.com/blog/autistici-inventati-us-sanctionshttps://tuta.com/blog/autistici-inventati-us-sanctionsThe U.S. Treasury and the U.S. Department of State have classified Autistici/Inventati (A/I) as a ‘Specially Designated Global Terrorist’. This is a precedent because the A/I organisation itself is not sanctioned for committing crimes, but for providing technical infrastructure to far-left extremists.Wed, 02 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://tuta.com/blog/digital-sovereignty-studyhttps://tuta.com/blog/digital-sovereignty-studyThe future is bright - at least when you look at the results of the recent study "State on Digital Sovereignty 2026": IT decision-makers in Europe increasingly choose European alternatives, thus, following a trend that was - surprisingly - sparked by Microsoft itself, one of the biggest American IT players worldwide.

Sun, 23 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://tuta.com/blog/what-to-do-if-you-get-an-apple-threat-notificationhttps://tuta.com/blog/what-to-do-if-you-get-an-apple-threat-notificationOn Thursday, Apple sent threat notifications to users in 110 countries alerting them that they might have been targeted with hacking spyware used by foreign governments. Apple only sends these notifications when it detects an Apple device has been targeted with a mercenary spyware attack – a highly sophisticated type of cyber attack. Receiving a threat notification does not necessarily mean the device has been successfully hacked, and this is why it's important to take this notification seriously and follow Apple’s instructions. Below we explain exactly what to do if you receive a warning notification on your iPhone. Fri, 21 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://tuta.com/blog/german-court-rules-emails-e2eehttps://tuta.com/blog/german-court-rules-emails-e2eeIn 2024, the Higher Regional Court of Schleswig-Holstein found a clear answer to the question of how secure emails send without end-to-end encryption actually are: not secure enough! Why? Because emails send with standard TLS encryption can easily be intercepted by hackers and then manipulated in their favor. As has happened to a building contractor who was left behind with a damage of 15.000€ after sending an invoice with standard TLS encryption - the encryption protocol that nearly every email provider uses.Thu, 20 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://tuta.com/blog/tuta-vs-startmailhttps://tuta.com/blog/tuta-vs-startmailIf we have learned one thing over the time, then it is this: Nothing on the internet ever is really free. However, if something on the internet is free, then you are most likely not paying with money but with your data. This is why a new market for email providers has developed that focus on privacy-first. Two of these email providers, that keep your inbox ad free and private, are Tuta Mail and StartMail.Wed, 19 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://tuta.com/blog/protonmail-vs-gmailhttps://tuta.com/blog/protonmail-vs-gmailGmail is no longer the only major player when it comes to free email for private and business use and people are increasingly looking for Gmail alternatives. Check out this detailed comparison of Gmail vs Proton Mail, and how both compare to the quantum-safe encrypted email provider Tuta Mail. Fri, 14 Aug 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. But did you know that websites, advertisers, ISPs, even government agencies can track your every click? It's time to protect your online identity with a secure and private browser! While most people use Google's Chrome, Microsoft's Edge, or Apple's Safari, there are much better alternatives for private and anonymous browsing available today, whether on your Android, your iPhone, or your PC. The question is: Which browser has the best privacy, is the most secure and best matches your needs? Let's find out! Thu, 13 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://tuta.com/blog/alternative-search-engines-to-googlehttps://tuta.com/blog/alternative-search-engines-to-google"Let me Google it" is a phrase you've probably heard over and over again and this is for good reason - Google owns the monopoly on search. In fact, over 90 percent of all searches around the world go through Google. While Google search once gave the best results for your search query, it's not what it once was. Today, people are looking for alternatives to Google Search for a number of reasons - from Google's introduction of AI search to the excessive tracking and lack of privacy. While the majority of Google Search alternatives still use Google or Bing's search index, they are still worth using because they have much better privacy protections in place. Keep reading as we take a look at which search alternative will suit you best.Wed, 12 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://tuta.com/blog/android-side-load-apps-googlehttps://tuta.com/blog/android-side-load-apps-googleStarting next year, Google will begin to silently block side-loading of apps on Android if the company categorizes these apps as “unverified”. By 2027, Google wants to roll out this system globally. That means every developer, no matter where they distribute their Android app, will need to register with Google, verify their identity, and go through Google’s systems – or else their apps simply won’t work on most Android phones. It looks like Google is following Apple’s path: Your device, their rules.Mon, 10 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://tuta.com/blog/interview-with-careteamhttps://tuta.com/blog/interview-with-careteamThe issue of data protection is particularly important in the healthcare sector, because healthcare professionals have to handle confidential client information on a daily basis. We had the pleasure of interviewing Andreas Saladin, the owner of a psychological psychotherapy practice based in Switzerland, to hear his insights on the duty of healthcare professionals to ensure client communications are secure with end-to-end encryption and why he chose Tuta Mail to secure his practice’s communications.
