tosdr.org says MEGA tracks you and stuff. I use the DuckDuckGo tracker blocker things, but my space is getting smaller and I’ll soon need to pay for a bigger plan. But I’m really wondering if they won’t steal my bank data if I pay for the bigger plan.
(Using MEGA snce it had the free plan with the biggest space I could find)
Mega gives the same vibe as folks who sell my real name and a detailed record of my activities. So I’m inclined to believe any accusations of tracking.
I wouldn’t both use Mega for piracy and piss off anyone powerful enough to want me arrested, or I would worry they would buy my Mega user records - for example.
As for paying Mega, they don’t strike me as “run off with your money”, to me.
But I always like to use a dedicated account with minimal money in it, for new online transactions. Also, I turn off “overdraft protection” on that acount, so it cannot drain my other accounts.
Seems like we are in diferent countries, I can’t find the Overdraft Protection on my bank app.
It’s probably less of a country thing and just not something all banks offer
Could be. Although mine buries it pretty deep and defaults it to on. They like to charge me $25 each time I would have overdraft, and they can’t do that if I turn off the “feature”.
Edit: If your country has stronger consumer protection laws, the “feature” might just be illegal there.
Brazil.
A company that wants you to pay for their service and then “steals” and misuses your payment details / data would be a pretty stupid thing IMHO.
well, google has their payment stuff too and is still a tracker and data stealer.
No. It was seized by the New Zealand government. Don’t think that NZ is some great democracy, our govt is turning into an authoritarian nightmare the same as everywhere else. Mega can’t be trusted anymore
Ooof. Any suggestions of what should I use then?
There was a problem with the encryption years ago but I doubt it’s still there. I don’t know anything further.
