On email providers - I moved away from Gmail for my personal email address a few years ago, and now use iCloud. I've had very few issues with spam, and there are no ads. My personal email has much less volume than work, so I haven't really missed the advanced features of Gmail.
From a privacy perspective, how does iCloud compare to others like Fastmail?
- michaelt 6y agoThe disappointing thing about iCloud for me is the nonstandard 2FA. No QR code you can scan into an app of your choice. No FIDO/U2F. No printable backup codes. You use your iPhone and if you want a backup, you'd better buy a mac.
- lotsofpulp 6y agoAs far as I know, Australia forces email providers to give them backdoor into email: https://fastmail.blog/2018/09/10/access-and-assistance-bill/ https://fastmail.blog/2018/09/10/access-and-assistance-bill/ https://www.theverge.com/2018/12/7/18130806/australia-access-and-assistance-encryption-bill-2018-facebook-google-apple-respond https://www.theverge.com/2018/12/7/18130806/australia-access... I don’t know how it affects Apple or Fastmail’s non AUS customers. I still pay Fastmail just to support their mission. https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/help-and-support/how-to-engage-us/consultations/the-assistance-and-access-bill-2018 https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/help-and-support/how-to-engag...
