Maybe they refused to answer because it's the only option they have if they don't want to lie to their users. Note that US law enforcement actively forbids the company to disclose spying.
- alfiejohn_ 13y agoPlease see my response to the GP and stop the speculation.
- e_proxus 13y agoYou should add clarification to your answer that you work with / own Fastmail.
- alfiejohn_ 13y agoThanks. I've editing my original comment.
- levosmetalo 13y agoThe speculation is only due to lack of information. However, even if you indeed handed the keys to the US government, you will be bound by them not to disclose it, so there's no much point answering either "yes" or "no" as long as you or any of your company assets are in the reach of US government. The same line of thought applies to any company connected with the US in any way, not just to Opera/FastMail. Anyways, thanks for the update.
- chris_mahan 13y agoLack of transparency leads to speculation.
- workhere-io 13y agoAs levosmetalo mentioned, we're forced to speculate when it comes to NSA spying, since companies apparently can be forced to not disclose anything. Which is why I think FastMail should see this as a great opportunity to move all servers to Norway. That would stop the speculation.
- workhere-io 13y agoWhich is why they should break all ties to the US completely. Shouldn't be too hard for an Australian/Norwegian company.
