No it does not, as we fall solely under Swiss jurisdiction since we don't have a presence in Australia.

From the Bill itself "A person is a designated communications provider if...

4 the person provides an electronic service that has one or more end-users in Australia

5 the person provides a service that facilitates, or is ancillary or incidental to,the provision of an electronic service that has one or more end-users in Australia

6 the person develops, supplies or updates software used, for use, or likely to be used, in connection with:(a) a listed carriage service; or(b) an electronic service that has one or more end-users in Australia"

I believe ProtonMail falls into these categories. As an Austrlaian and a user of your services myself, will this mean getting service "officially" cut off in Australia?

The Australian government has successfully nuked it's own entire IT industry from orbit. Great job guys.

I feel sorry for the people who started good businesses only to have them destroyed by this shitshow.

If it wasn't so scary as a citizen myself, it'd just be sad.

If that happens, then you could simply use ProtonVPN to bypass the block.

Wouldn't that mean that ProtonVPN then has an end user in Aus, and would then be theoretically subject to all this nonsense?

A user would have to double-VPN for ProtonVPN to be the solution. Right?
