I suppose the employees at Tutanota can do what the employees at Apple did: they could threaten to quit if they are instructed to work on this.

- noodlesUK 6y agoWould there be some way of wording a contractual agreement with a company such that all of their customers contracts would irrevocably end if such a backdoor were installed. Tutanota should consider ceasing trading in response to this. Surely the court won’t force them to not just stop supplying email services to everyone.
- sneak 6y agoFWIW, Apple has backdoored iMessage's end-to-end encryption via iCloud Backup plaintext/key escrow, automatically on by default, so if people did quit or threaten to quit, it didn't actually stop or change anything. Apparently Apple was going to fix this glaring hole in their cryptosystem, but Apple Legal killed it as a favor to the FBI. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-fbi-icloud-exclusive/exclusive-apple-dropped-plan-for-encrypting-backups-after-fbi-complained-sources-idUSKBN1ZK1CT https://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-fbi-icloud-exclusiv...
