Next Tuesday, a permanent decision on Chat Control 2.0 could be made. 😡 If passed, this means your private chats WILL be SCANNED. 🚨 PLEASE TAKE ACTION Contact your MEPs 👉 fightchatcontrol.eu?level=nation... At Tuta we say NO to #ChatControl and will continue to fight for your right to privacy. ❤️🔐

At Tuta, if Chat Control 2.0 is passed we have two options: to move out of the EU or sue and fight it. As our CEO, Matthias Pfau has stated, we would sue and fight for people's privacy. Because for us, undermining end-to-end encryption is not an option.

Yesterday was a sad day for the privacy of citizens in the EU. In light of yesterday's vote, we wanted to remind you that: Chat Control 1.0 is different from Chat Control 2.0 in that providers (like us at Tuta) are not forced to backdoor their end-to-end encryption for surveillance.
Quote from Tuta CEO, Matthias Pfau: "If Chat Control passes, we as an encrypted provider have two options: sue to fight for people’s privacy, 
or leave the EU. 
And we’ve decided to fight. We will never weaken or backdoor our encryption.”
