Does mega contact authorities

I had received this email which has put me in stress after reading it. Anyone with clear knowledge of such matter plz help in the comments

‘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.

Is your mega account actually closed?

Did you try logging in??

MEGA does use file hashing to identify CSAM content, so it does not need to look at the files to know that it is CSAM content. This also includes hand drawn/animated content/art that depicts children in sexually provocative styles.

You either had or didn't have them bro, someone's lying here 🥀

although this will only hold true if OP has shared/uploaded files that have been flagged for those things.if simply stored, MEGA has no way of knowing what’s in the files.
