Fastmail is based in Australia, which IIRC has a pretty dismal privacy situation, with laws that mandate they have to be able to decrypt user data and provide full access to user accounts when asked, plus zero standing for non-citizens. Might not be an issue for most since the Five Eyes get it all anyway etc. etc., but it was a showstopper for me. Last time I looked Mailbox.org seemed to be the best EU-domestic provider.
- hardwaresofton 4y agoOh shit, Fastmail is based in Australia? I don't know how this escaped me/how I'd never heard of this. Yeah, Australia's policies regarding the internet are fully foobar'd. Removing them from the listing. Nothing against the people of course but it's off my radar as even a place to visit for this reason (not that they need my tourism).
