Doesn't matter - Fastmail's response is just PR bunk.

Two big isues:

- Fastmail pays taxes to the Australian government. By supporting Fastmail, you are supporting this lunacy indirectly.

- Their rebuttal revolves around requiring a warrant for any of this, but what good is that if the process if flimsy and there is basically no friction/verification involved in obtaining a warrant?

I am a long time customer and I love Fastmail's service. But Australia has just gone nuts, and I think this is the last straw. I'll be working on a plan to slowly migrate elsewhere.
