- kazen44 8y agoi wonder if this would affect other, non autstralian mail providers (protonmail for instance).
- protonmail 8y agoNo it does not, as we fall solely under Swiss jurisdiction since we don't have a presence in Australia.
- blkcoffee 8y agoFrom the Bill itself "A person is a designated communications provider if... 4 the person provides an electronic service that has one or more end-users in Australia 5 the person provides a service that facilitates, or is ancillary or incidental to,the provision of an electronic service that has one or more end-users in Australia 6 the person develops, supplies or updates software used, for use, or likely to be used, in connection with:(a) a listed carriage service; or(b) an electronic service that has one or more end-users in Australia" I believe ProtonMail falls into these categories. As an Austrlaian and a user of your services myself, will this mean getting service "officially" cut off in Australia?
- brokenmachine 8y agoThe Australian government has successfully nuked it's own entire IT industry from orbit. Great job guys. I feel sorry for the people who started good businesses only to have them destroyed by this shitshow. If it wasn't so scary as a citizen myself, it'd just be sad.
- protonmail 8y agoIf that happens, then you could simply use ProtonVPN to bypass the block.
- _archon_ 8y agoWouldn't that mean that ProtonVPN then has an end user in Aus, and would then be theoretically subject to all this nonsense? A user would have to double-VPN for ProtonVPN to be the solution. Right?
- mediocrejoker 8y agoDoes anyone know of a similar service hosted in Canada?
