The UK's Investigatory Powers Act has way too much power. By forcing Apple to remove its encryption for UK users, it threatens the #privacy of everyone.

We at Tuta would never build a backdoor - and our #opensource code is proof of that.

Apple removes cloud encryption for UK users - but there's a grain of hope.

Apple to backdoor encryption? Round 2 | Tuta

UK demands Apple to backdoor encryption similar to what the FBI asked ten years ago. Will Apple stay strong?

@Seldon This is not planned right now. No one could proof that the open sourced code would actually be running when you access Tuta... Nevertheless, we plan to enable you to self-host Tuta Mail, and for this, open sourcing the server code will make sense. This will be a small server, which can run locally.

Note,, all the encryption takes place locally on your device (end-to-end encryption) so our servers don't see your encrypted emails and can't read your data.

@rzeta0 @tizmic @sirobsidian That is exactly the point. No one could proof that the open sourced code would actually be running when you access Tuta...

@otfrom We haven't seen the order so it's hard to say. However, what we can say is that German data protection legislation is pretty strict and could very well be in conflict with the UK order, which would have helped us. In any case, we will never undermine the end-to-end encryption offered in Tuta, and this is proven by our open source code.
