Does Australia's access and assistance law impact 1Password?

I'm curious if similar rules are applied to foreign nationals (and software/hardware) of other much more totalitarian regimes like China or Russia?

Not defending how retarded our government is, but it seems this is an issue we should have already contemplated as an industry. How many other nations should be banned for similar reasons? Do you really trust those chips made in china?

I'm pretty sure that the US military, NSA, etc don't.

I also gather that Chinese generally face more scrutiny in the US, in at least some industries. And they're more likely to be investigated.

Military and NSA are probably cooperative enough with our government that this isn't an issue for them, it was probably even initiated by them.

The bigger issue is the private sectors of companies worldwide throwing confidential information into things like JIRA. They can no longer consider that confidential.

The context of my comment was China, not Australia ;)
