I wish they weren't sued into providing a backdoor for the German government, I vastly prefer their corporate structure to proton, but I cant really trust to use a "encrypted" service with a government backdoor.
- tuyeron 1y agoProof? There is no backdoor in Tuta, the code is here: https://github.com/tutao/tutanota https://github.com/tutao/tutanota
- _vere 1y agoThere was a court case here a while ago because the feds wanted access to someone's emails. They won the case and forced tuta to build them a way into their system that allows them to get at non end to end encrypted emails before they get at-rest-encrypted. German article https://www.heise.de/news/Gericht-zwingt-Mailprovider-Tutanota-zu-Ueberwachungsfunktion-4972460.html https://www.heise.de/news/Gericht-zwingt-Mailprovider-Tutano... English article about the same topic https://hackread.com/encrypted-email-provider-tutanota-backdoor-service/ https://hackread.com/encrypted-email-provider-tutanota-backd... This essentially means they are forced to save a copy of the non encrypted emails somewhere, at least for german customers. You can argue its not a "backdoor" in the typical sense, since end to end encryption is still in place, but like, come on
- Tutanota 1y agoHi, Tuta Team here, we came across this and wanted to jump in. The facts are correct - thanks for explaining it the way it actually was. We explain in more detail here why this case highlights the need for *end-to-end encryption* and why we recommend everybody using it whenever possible: https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/ntzn3w/comment/h0vovbb/ https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/ntzn3w/comment/h0v...
