🚨 BREAKING: Microsoft just renamed Office to "Microsoft 365 Copilot app"

All users are now "AI users"

And this will lead to higher prices: https://tuta.com/blog/microsoft-365-price-increase

Screenshot from the new Microsoft 365 Copilot app: "The Microsoft 365 Copilot app (formerly Office) lets you create, share and collaborate all in one place with your favorite apps now including copilot."

Hello Mastodon Family! Lena here from marketing. I'm writing an article on instant messengers with interoperability and I'm looking for some more information on what actually makes a messenger interoperable. I thought of focusing on: Element, Delta, and SimpleX but I'm open to other suggestions! Could anyone kindly advise? ☺️

@GroupNebula563 @wolfwalks Hi there, this was bad and we are very sorry for that. I did not take a screenshot back then (we deleted the post after 30 minutes because it did not match our values), but I scrolled all my way through Mastodon to find our apology:

https://mastodon.social/@Tutanota/108910936764865962

https://mastodon.social/@Tutanota/108910937813834878

This was a mistake, we apologized & we made sure that we would never post something similar again.

🚨 Another massive AWS outage just took down Roblox, Fortnite, Coinbase, Snapchat, and all Supercell games.

Half the internet has gone dark because of one Big Tech company. This is not innovation, it is monopoly risk.

💡It’s time to choose alternatives.

Today is the day Mr. Hummelgaard wanted to push through a vote on Chat Control in the EU Council. But he failed! 🎉

However, Chat Control will be back, so let's look at what this law means for everyone, not just here in Europe:

is nothing but a Trojan Horse for citizens and businesses in Europe. Why?

Read our Open Letter: 👉 https://tuta.com/blog/open-letter-against-chat-control

And learn why must be stopped:

🚨 Undermines Europe's digital sovereignty

🚨 Weakens everybody's security

🚨 Destroys trust in the European tech industry

If we allow this Trojan Horse through the gates, we’ll lose the very principle of private communication.

We must say no to Chat Control! Not because we don’t care about safety, but because mass surveillance destroys safety for everyone.

Ask yourself this: Would you install a camera in your bathroom so the government can "make sure nothing bad happens"? Interestingly, EU governments themselves don't want the AI to scrape their data.

Check whose data the AI will be able to scan:

❌ Government

❌ Military

✅ YOU

AI technology designed to detect illegal material cannot distinguish between "good" and "bad" speech. It opens the door for governments, now or in the future, to monitor all messages, photos, and videos. Once the infrastructure for scanning is in place, it can and will be used for other means as well.

In Europe everyone is talking about - which is great! But we can't have that and undermine our sovereignty by giving law enforcement the key to all encrypted communication. To us at Tuta it's clear:

"There are no backdoors for the good guys only".

Once built, such a system isn't just able to scan for harmful content, it could very well be used or abused to look for anything interesting:

🔓 Your credit card details

🔓 Your sexual orientation

🔓 Your businesses' customer lists

Thanks everyone for your help and keep fighting the good fight. 🫶

Chat Control will not get a majority - at least not today.

My post yesterday got ZERO replies, which is unlike you lot, so let's try a far more succinct post:

Does anyone have any suggestions for privacy/security-minded email service providers?

Google calendar can be poisoned with invisible, malicious Gemini prompts:

https://www.darkreading.com/cyberattacks-data-breaches/google-gemini-ai-bot-hijacks-smart-homes

Do I have to stop clicking on calendar invitations? What are the alternatives?

If Google can't get security or "AI" right, what hope is there that anyone will?
