New Zealand-based cloud file storage company Mega is expressing its concerns with a new anti-terrorism law being drafted in the wake of the 2019 Christchurch massacre.
A submission from Mega s executive chairman Stephen Hall on the proposed new law says the company supports the intent and some changes suggested, but pushes back on other proposals that would hold platform service providers such as itself accountable for the activities of their users.
Mega s concerns are all the more notable because the Christchurch terrorist uploaded copies of his manifesto to the company s platform ahead of the attack.
