> Not sure we can safely promote Australian-based Fastmail thanks to their backwards new laws. Disclaimer: not an Australian citizen, not a lawyer, etc. All the coverage I've heard about this law has focused on the idea that companies and service providers are expected to "assist" with government access to encrypted communication. In that context, I'm not sure how this particular law really impacts Fastmail. For the basic use case, their service is built in a such a way that it already has access to all your unencrypted data. So the Australian government didn't need this law specifically to get at your data, they just needed to issue a lawful order. If you're taking the additional steps encrypt your data before it reaches their service (e.g. using a third-party email client with PGP), then there's not really anything Fastmail is going to be able to "assist" with beyond providing access to the data you've encrypted.
