But, this ease of navigation has not come without a price, that being the erosion of our privacy. Luckily today there are great alternatives to Google Maps that better respect your privacy.

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, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://tuta.com/blog/interview-with-thomas-ryberghttps://tuta.com/blog/interview-with-thomas-rybergA few months ago I came across Thomas Ryberg's Linkedin post about switching to Tuta Mail, which is one of the many small steps he has been taking to move away from Big Tech, and wanted to know more. For more than 25 years, Thomas Ryberg has explored how technology can support group processes, learning, and collaboration. Today, he is a Professor of Digital Learning at Aalborg University in Denmark. For him, choosing to move away from Big Tech services like Meta and Google is not because he has something to hide. He simply doesn't want Tech Giants to make money off his data.Mon, 05 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://tuta.com/blog/unity-day-reminder-no-to-surveillancehttps://tuta.com/blog/unity-day-reminder-no-to-surveillanceToday we are celebrating German Unity Day. This day reminds us that a different world is possible: one where all citizens are monitored and the opposition is oppressed. Because this is actually how life was in Eastern Germany – up until October 3rd, 1990. This is the day, Germany united, the day, Germany overcame division, oppression, and surveillance. And, thus, it is also a day of warning. Sat, 03 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://tuta.com/blog/tuta-app-on-nextcloudhttps://tuta.com/blog/tuta-app-on-nextcloudThe encrypted email service Tuta offers a lot of functionalities – email, calendar, contacts. But - if you fully want to quit the Google or Microsoft ecosystem so much more is needed... That’s why we’ve now added an easy why to integrate plugins into Tuta; and the free Nextcloud plugin is our first officially supported one. Now, you can create events in the Tuta Calendar and automatically set up a Nextcloud Talk link in the event, or store attachments received in Tuta Mail directly into your Nextcloud folders. Check out why it's important that Tuta and Nextcloud are joining forces! Thu, 01 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://tuta.com/blog/dont-trust-meta-muse-aihttps://tuta.com/blog/dont-trust-meta-muse-aiMillions of Meta users in the US and Canada are downloading and using Meta’s latest AI app, Meta Muse. The personal AI agent can send emails, book trips, and more. This might sound useful in theory, but in reality, it means Meta's AI technology has access to your accounts, a scary amount of personal data, and it's learning about you. And given Meta's history, can you really trust Mark Zuckerberg's company with such invasive technology?

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.Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://tuta.com/blog/how-to-create-shared-mailboxes-in-tuta-mailhttps://tuta.com/blog/how-to-create-shared-mailboxes-in-tuta-mailShared mailboxes in Tuta Mail are excellent for organizations of any size as they allows teams to share mailboxes and streamline communications - with the added benefit of Tuta's end-to-end encryption.

Mon, 21 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! And we’re not stopping there, we have more improvements coming soon.

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.

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.
