The EU is moving forward with #eIDAS despite warnings from over 500 scientists & privacy advocates.

With no requirement that server-side code be released open source, we cannot be sure that our personal data is secure.😱

Thankfully, the #Pirates 🏴‍☠️ in the EU Parliament did manage to push for an #opensource release of the client-app & the eID will be voluntary.

This isn't over. EU citizens please contact your representatives and demand they respect our #privacy !🥊

EU Digital Identity Regulation (eIDAS): Pirates don’t support blank cheque for surveillance of citizens online!

The EU Parliament and EU Council yesterday struck a political deal on the reform of the EU Digital Identity Regulation (eIDAS 2).

So uh, this is a bit awkward, but is Tuta's server side open source yet? I don't want to invoke whataboutism, and I agree with your message here, but please use this opportunity to open source your server side before you claim the trustworthiness from being FOSS without being fully FOSS.

Even if your backend is a bunch of services stitched together, you can still "open source" it by at least describing your backend in a self hosting guide, or move to declarative infra like Supabase.

Tuta

@blebon We did see this & have issued a statement on our subreddit:

Tutao GmbH, the company behind Tuta, was founded in 2011 by Arne Möhle and Matthias Pfau who knew each other from studying together at FHWD university in Hanover, Germany.

To this day, the company is wholly owned by Matthias and Arne, & is not liable to anyone else.

We are not owned or operated by any secret service, nor is Tuta (or Tutanota) a "storefront" as claimed by Cameron Ortis. These allegations are completely untrue.
