  Good? You seem to be implying that's a worse thing than wherever Proton Mail is based, but haven't stated why.

    Australian law allows the government to demand access to your email, and Fastmail hold the encryption keys. That's not the case for Switzerland.

    Not GP, but I would imagine they’re referring to Australia’s not-so-stellar track record with encryption lately.

    Yes definitely, Australia’s new policies on privacy and encryption are extremely bad.
