Germany is making headlines by proposing a draft bill that would mandate email, messenger, and cloud providers to use strong end-to-end encryption, a move celebrated by privacy enthusiasts and cybersecurity experts. This comes in contrast to other countries planning to undermine encryption with client-side scanning. Germany’s strong data protection laws make it an ideal place for companies like Tuta to be based. The draft law aims to ensure the privacy of digital communication and sets a new standard by requiring end-to-end encryption “wherever technically possible.” While the bill has not yet passed, there is hope that Germany will lead the way in protecting digital privacy.
