I know of no law here in Germany that would make it illegal, heck, Germany allows me to sign my PGP Key with my National ID. There has been some conservative resistance over the years but it's still legal and in practice for the normal user simply not an issue. Unless you are using things like Anom or other messengers that are like exlusively used by criminals and even it's not illegal in itself you might at worst get caught up in a sting operation when they take down the central servers.
Fun fact most Tor exit nodes are in Germany. Hosting those is more risky.
I heard tutanota collaborates with German law enforcement for decryption.
Heard from where? How would they do that? Tutanota doesn’t have the key, the end user does. I keep hearing weird things about Turanota that sound like the types of rumors intelligences agencies who really don’t want people to use the service would start.
