From May 8th, 2026, the tech giant will stop encrypting private messages between its users and this means they have access to everything you send and share.
At Tuta, we fight for your right to privacy which is we have signed this open letter to Meta.

Pretty weird when a legal win against a Mega-Corporation feels like that 🥲
Well there are always all the other current cases and potential next cases against them :))
This change is both state-sponsored and to the benefit of Meta (Facebook / Instagram).

Guess Meta's all in on #AI isn't paying off ;)
"Engagement rates on #Instagram, LinkedIn and #Threads declined last year compared with 2024, while #Facebook, Pinterest and TikTok increased slightly."
Not a good look when you just had to write off the US$ 73 Billion from that failed #Metaverse!
