Encryption is the only thing that forces law enforcement to use warrants, without it it's just a wild wild west of privacy abuse. I do hope we see more services crop up, and new methods for people to encrypt email outside of specific services, maybe better plugins for Thunderbird or something, hell I'd easily pay for such a plugin if someone else can communicate back and forth with me through it and it is encrypted.…

This also seems like a reasonable solution for encryption. The state here is not making or trying to make encryption illegal; and it is open about the fact that court authorisation is required to enforce a backdoor.
From my understanding of the article (non-native), it seems like it is only one specific mailbox that is to be monitored > "Tutanota sieht sich nun gezwungen, bis Jahresende eine Funktion zu programmieren...dieses Postfach zu überwachen." and that nothing else will change for the other users > "Für die anderen Nutzer soll sich dadurch nichts ändern, ihre Mails sollen weiter standardmäßig verschlüsselt werden" As othe…
Yeah german here you are correct. > Tutanota will Beschwerde gegen den Beschluss einlegen, diese hat jedoch keine aufschiebende Wirkung Tutanota wants to appeal in court against this, but is forced to comply (right now). > "Tutanota sieht sich nun gezwungen, bis Jahresende eine Funktion zu programmieren...dieses Postfach zu überwachen." Tutanota sees no other possibility than to program a function (until the end of t…

I wonder how a company that uses 100% open source software would comply with an order like this. def decrypt_email?(email) do email in surveilance_order_emails() end

Not a lawyer and I am just speculating but in the US I believe it would likely result in the court compelling the maintainer of the libraries in question to comply with the original order, or issue new orders to compel the parties in question given the new information.

I worked in the telecom industry, and knowing how much surveillance related regulations was there, I can't believe true e2e encryption is a thing on the internet.

It's impossible for regulators to ignore a platform with substantial traffic.
