> Does fastmail have a US presence? If no - then they're not bound at all by US jurisdiction. This hasn't been true for several years. All Australian companies (and UK companies) are under jurisdiction of the US Cloud Act. Just the same as American companies are. https://www.justice.gov/criminal/criminal-oia/cloud-act-agreement-between-governments-us-and-australia https://www.justice.gov/criminal/criminal-oia/cloud-act-agre...

      Sure, but the point was that the US doesn't even need to exercise their capabilities under the five eyes treaty. They have a separate Cloud act agreement with Australia already which is a more direct route to get what they want.
