It seems that the two largest German Telecom companies are now providing their customers with encrypted email and will only route e-mail traffic through their domestic servers.
Two of Germany's biggest Internet service providers say they will
encrypt customers' emails by default following reports that the U.S.
National Security Agency monitors international electronic
communications.
Deutsche Telekom, Germany's leading telecoms operator, says it will
start channeling e-mail traffic exclusively through its domestic servers
in response to public outrage over revelations of U.S. spy programs
accessing citizens' private messages. The company launched the "E-mail
made in Germany" initiative after a month of public indignation over
reports on intrusive U.S. snooping based on documents leaked by fugitive
former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden.
