      Yep. That’s why when shopping for services, more weight should be put on what data they retain. It doesn’t matter if they comply with laws in the country they operate in if they have no data to hand over.

        I believe Australian laws state that if the government requests your data and they can’t hand it over, they’re required to build a method to track you. So practically speaking if you want true privacy you’d need to use the Tor network.

          Australian states are working on laws to impose fines on companies that don’t provide data in cases of ‘vilification’, under the pretense of catching ‘anonymous nazis’ or whatever. We’re cooked

          Also if you call someone a nazi here, they sue you for defamation
