@Tutanota Meanwhile, here in the EU, they're readying Chat Control for another run. What did we do to deserve this timeline? :hurb:

@Tutanota Switzerland has quickly gone from being the country with the best internet laws to the country with the worst.

@Tutanota Why do I get the feeling that lately, in so many countries, new regulations are popping up with only one purpose - to erode privacy 🔓? It feels like a bad joke. I can't keep up anymore.I wish I could fight them all at once, put pressure everywhere 🌍, no matter where I live. But I don't have the time. I'm already drowning in an endless to-do list.Why couldn't the government set a different deadline? Why are they so determined to push this through? My mind can't wrap around it :blobcatweary: I just hope they come to their senses and never implement it 🙏#Privacy #HumanRights #Switzerland #SwissPrivacy #EU #ChatControl #FightChatControl #UK #OnlineSafetyAct #AgeVerification #Surveillance #StopSurveillance

@Tutanota Oh fuck! What does this mean for all the Swiss-based privacy and security platforms, like Proton?I mean, Proton's CEO Andy Yen already showed his true colors by advocating for Trump's support of little guy "tech startups" (read: Sillycon Valley broligarchs), so I'm already transitioning out of Proton's ecosystem.Update: See thread below. I'm incorrect with the above statement regarding Proton's CEO.

@Tutanota I'm sure this is a complete coincidence:"Switzerland wins US tariff rate cut to 15%, pledges $200 billion in US investments"https://www.reuters.com/business/retail-consumer/details-swiss-us-trade-deal-could-emerge-friday-2025-11-14/

@Tutanota Really curious about what this means for Quad9. I'd hate to have to find another DNS provider.

@Tutanota Just out of curiosity, if you use your own email client and send GPG/PGP encrypted email, how does an email provider decrypt it?Sometimes encryption is a necessity even if privacy isn't an issue. Example: I've used encryption to send a JAR file to a friend for testing: he had a gmail account and Googledoesn't allow JAR files as email attachments to "protect the user". This hid it fromGoogle's software. It wasn't really secret - the password was in the email's text.

@Tutanota Remember the Fichenpolizei from back in the 1990s in Switzerland? It was a personal data collection scandal at the time I was based there for a brief time.

@Tutanota So US no way, Switzerland neither and EU? Not anymore they are also building mass surveillance laws. This trend is worrying. I already have my emails in Norway, my docs and pictures are in Swtzerland in Infomaniak, I will now start to look for alternative.

@Tutanota They sure as hell won’t change their bank privacy laws, potentially exposing the crimes of billionaire and political elites.Will dump Proton and mag on their brand if this BS passes. Don’t try to lick the vic. We’re privacy focused and hella vocal #protonmail #DataPrivacy #CybersecurityandDataProtection
