Re:Ask HN: Is anyone using Fastmail for their business? by steve_avery on Tuesday July 05, 2022 @01:31PM (#31991172)
I have been using fastmail as a single personal account for the past year or so, so I don't have much to add to your technical assessment. However, I have been considering changing providers because of the political position of the Australian government. I've done a cursory search just now and can't find anything to back up my opinion, but my impression is that they have a pretty permissive stance on gov't access to data or just crappy Internet privacy laws, which I disdain. I have been thinking about making the jump to protonmail as my provider instead.

I believe you are referring to this? <https://fastmail.blog/legal-policy/access-and-assistance-bil...>

Basically any company is going to turn over any data they are legally required to do so. The US is not that much different. Plus the US has a law that says any data older that 6 months does not need a warrant! I see a law was introduced to prevent that, but I could not tell if it passed the Senate and was signed.
