In 2027, Google plans to roll out mandatory developer verification globally. Apps from developers who haven't registered with Google will face restrictions on certified Android devices → including apps installed outside Google Play.

This undermines one of Android’s defining features: the freedom to install software from wherever you choose. 😤🚩

Yesterday was a sad day for the privacy of citizens in the EU given the extension of #ChatControl 1.0, allowing for voluntary scanning of private communications.

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.

#ChatControl 1.0 HAS PASSED - despite a majority voting against it (314:276) 🚨

After the EU parliament has rejected it TWICE in the past, it has been pushed as an urgent procedure for a new plenary vote. The EU has simply continued to put the vote on the agenda to get the outcome they've wanted since the start.

This is not democratic‼️

2026-07-07T14:39:19Z

CHAT CONTROL IS BACK → Today the urgent procedure for Chat Control 1.0 was passed.

NEXT UP: The EU Parliament is voting on Thursday.

If Chat Control passes: your messages, pictures, videos will all be scanned because the law will require it - this removes privacy and welcomes mass surveillance in the EU.

Today is the day: The European Commission is expected to publish the EU Tech Sovereignty Package. 🇪🇺

And the demand is clear. When purchasing software products, European authorities must prioritize

- Open source
- Buy European

The Americans buy American, the Chinese buy Chinese, when will Europe start to support its own industry?

The EU Tech Sovereignty Package can be a turning point for #digital #sovereignty.

But will they be bold enough?

At Tuta, we value and respect everyone. We know that protecting ones private data is even more important for minorities, be it because of their sexual orientation, their beliefs, or something else.

We are happy that we can protect everyone's data with quantum-safe end-to-end encryption. And for pride month, we hope that we make a difference to anyone in need for #privacy.

🚨 Canada’s Bill C-22 is here & it’s the same surveillance bill from last year's failed C-2. 🚨

What does this mean?

❌ Your metadata would be stored by service providers for up to 12 months.

❌ The government would force these companies to build surveillance capabilities directly into their platforms.

Government calls it “lawful access” but we know that forcing providers to enable access to encrypted data puts EVERYONE'S privacy & security at risk. 😡

Google now wants your phone number in return for more storage 🤯 ⚠️

---> Just another reason to #DEGOOGLE.

Google has reduced the free default storage for new accounts from 15GB to 5GB UNLESS you verify your account by providing your phone number.

It's time to ditch Google, and switch to an alternative email provider like Tuta Mail - we let you sign up #anonymous ❤️

What’s sold as “online safety” means #surveillance via IDs checks or face scans.

Privacy & anonymity protect journalists, whistleblowers & activists.
