        “MEGA account closure – objectionable content

        Recently you were sent an email advising that your account was found to contain copies of files that were reported to us as being objectionable under Section 3(1)(A) of the New Zealand Films, Videos, and Publications Classification Act 1993. In particular, this relates to objectionable violence, and depictions of sexual conduct with or by children, or young persons (Section 3(3)(a)(iv)), which is an offence carrying potentially lengthy prison sentences in our and your jurisdiction.

        We removed from your account the copies of such files that were reported to us and advised you to remove ALL objectionable material from your account IMMEDIATELY and refrain from EVER adding any of it again in the future.

        However we have now found copies in your account of further files that were reported to us as being objectionable under Section 3(1)(A) of the New Zealand Films, Videos, and Publications Classification Act 1993.

        As advised previously, this second strike has resulted in IMMEDIATE AND PERMANENT closure of your account and potential further consequences for you.

        – MEGA”

        I got this mail 2 days ago and the warning mail 3 months ago which I was unware of. I imported nsfw folders on my mega account a few years ago but was unaware that it could have objectionable content in it. Could I get in trouble for this? As it has mentioned “potential further consequences for you”.

          NAL. Mega closed many years ago, if I recollect collectly. Secondly, are you a NewZealand resident? If not, those words have a barrier called jurisdiction. Also, check the email for phishing. Don’t click on any links or could be one, just check through. But, of course, a lawyer may be able to better comment on legality, if you come to the conclusion that the email is geniune.

              I am an Indian resident. The mail has been sent from mega.co.nz which is official. Also it had a link to the legislation.govt.nz where the act was mentioned.

                  You can go through the above link to read up on the discussion, but seems like child porn aap k collection me pkde gye hain… So consult a lawyer, but I think there will be jurisdiction issues for the NZ government to prosecute in India. Not that the Indian government cannot.

                      So should I appeal to mega, and if they reinstate my account I can delete those folders. Or should I wait for a legal notice. I had checked on reddit, multiple people received same mail and nothing happened for a few months.

                                      Legally they have no jurisdiction; unless they leverage international law’s & extradition around child porn.

                                      From what I know most nations including India frown on it.

                                      Why r F do you have Child porn?

                                          It is not mentioned in the email which files are flagged, even the warning mail had not mentioned the flagged files. It is mentioned that it has found copies of files that violate their terms.

                                  i would stay off the porn addictions, between this and your comments on sextortion on having previously dealt with this, seems like the porn is costing you your social life lmao

                                            Only the cybercrime authorities in your country can trace you via ip not mega.
