TIL Fastmail is an Australian company. I wonder if this bill applies to data hosted outside of Australia for international clients by a company based in Australia?
I'd really like to know what they have to say about this.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoAs far as I know, Fastmail has been backdoored for a few years now by Australian government (and hence I assume the USA, too). It is Fastmail’s biggest disadvantage, in my opinion.
- throwawayswede 5y agoWhile that may be true (and I'm sort of disappointed to find this out), I don't think there's any server _at all_ that I'd trust if I'm worried about certain governments snooping in on my email. That level of communication would prompt me to use PGP.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoYes, that is is why I continue to be a Fastmail customer. I do not think there is a comparable alternative with no government snooping.
- christophilus 5y agoSnooping is one thing. Full blown legal access for law enforcement to view and tamper is another.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoBeing able to tamper is a game changer and would cause me to end my subscription. As far as I know, the US government does not explicitly condone that...yet.
- dalmo3 5y agoThey don't seem to mention any special treatment for international clients: https://www.fastmail.com/help/ourservice/law-enforcement.html https://www.fastmail.com/help/ourservice/law-enforcement.htm...
