I've recently moved away from Fastmail (been a paying client for 5+ years) to Mailbox.org. The Australian Assistance and Access bill scared me off.

- ThePhysicist 8y agoI like mailbox.org but they also do not operate in a legal void and can be forced to hand over your data to law enforcement. Recently there was a ruling by the federal constitutional court (https://www.bundesverfassungsgericht.de/SharedDocs/Pressemitteilungen/EN/2019/bvg19-007.html https://www.bundesverfassungsgericht.de/SharedDocs/Pressemit...) which clarified that providers don't have the right to ensure anonymity/untraceability of their users by technical means and are required to implement surveillance measures when asked to by a court. It does not mean that they need to track users indiscriminately though. That said I still prefer having my mail hosted by a "normal" company located in my country of residence, as it would probably be much easier for me to get hold of them legally if they e.g. decide to delete my e-mail account or revoke my access to it.
