Damn, I just lost $100. Thanks. We had a bet on how long it would take for somebody to say "just relocate your entire company and all your staff's lives to another jurisdiction".

Slightly off topic: you have a broken link in your blog post titled 'Submission regarding “The Assistance And Access Bill 2018”'. The link [2] in the line "For more information around this submission, see our <blog post> about the bill" leads to a 404 page not found.

Hey, thanks! We've updated that to link to both the relevant blog posts.

Maybe jammygit is on the other side of that bet... :)

Hey, good point. That would be a neat scam...

(Not the only one who suggested the same thing though)

...and obviously someone who doesn't live in Melbourne.

Happy Fastmail customer of, I dunno, 5+ years?

Melbourne, Australia :-)

I dunno, I stepped out of the office at 5:45pm to head home and got drenched. 4 seasons in 1 day and all that.

Ah Melbourne in the "between spring and summer"... the storms recently have been impressive. But next week we enter the Xmas slumber and hot weather...

We had three seasons today. And the rainfall of an entire season this afternoon.

Neemo of Brisbane.

It's the best solution. Given how mindbogglingly expensive your product is, you could try your best at least.

Mindbogglingly expensive?

I didn't think Canada was doing much better than us (Australia) with these kind of crazy, over-reaching laws. You'd probably have to find somewhere in Europe.

Switzerland might be better as not part of five eyes.

Not part of any "X eyes" arrangement, but at least some parties within Switzerland are strongly engaged in partnering with foreign secret services, apparently without any consequences by the Swiss state: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypto_AG#Compromised_machines

Switzerland probably is too expensive.

Protonmail is in Switzerland.

They also notably charge more than FastMail.
