    They always have been. The passwords to those servers are keht in austrillia so there isn’t much that being in the us means other than physical access vulnerabilities

      Although I am not an expert in this field, I believe that a law or an executive order could be passed requiring that if an external entity (Fastmail) wishes to engage in business with a US entity (server provider), end-to-end encryption must be enabled with a backdoor.

      Additionally, when an individual pays Fastmail, they are essentially making payment to the server provider located in the United States.

        Evecutive orders are not law and mean nothing if you do not work for the government.

        backdoors are wanted by some but just down the hall are those who are supposed to protect americans and they oppose them.
