Popular file sharing service MEGA recently shared the content of a user's suspended account after the FBI provided the service with a list of potential passwords in a child abuse case, according to court records.

The court records highlight the data retention policies and law enforcement communication practices of MEGA. They also show how MEGA does not ask for authorities to provide a court order for data when requests from law enforcement relate to certain types of alleged crimes.
