Email using most large providers is transmitted using TLS
- Gigachad 4y agoTLS is unaffected by any government laws. What I assume OP is referencing is a law that makes end to end encryption problematic in Australia but Fastmail has never offered end to end encryption. Neither do most email providers so it doesn't matter.
- astrange 4y agoIf you get a PGP browser extension they all do. It’s pretty inconvenient to use though, sending encrypted attachments and giving the password offline is probably the only thing most people are up to.
- Gigachad 4y agoThe location of the fastmail office has zero impacts on this. If the complaint was that the PGP extension was developed in Australia then that would be a valid complaint. But email hosts themselves are not private against government requests.
- astrange 4y agoI’m not the one complaining and I’m not sure what their complaint means either.
