I suppose you think the invasion of Ukraine is either fake or justified as well.

Not the person you are replying to, but you are making an absolutely bad faith assumption here.

Is it that impossible for you to imagine that someone could be extremely apalled by the invasion of Ukraine and be fully in support of their side (i.e., being fully opposed to the Russian side), while at the same time standing for the principles of open internet and not believing in wholesale disconnecting entire countries?

Because that's my personal stance. I am fully on the side of Ukraine here, with no "ifs" or "buts", and I simultaneously don't believe in blackholing tens of millions of people like that being a good idea.

Putting my other comment another way:

If MEGA is used repeatedly and almost exclusively by threat actors as an exfiltration point, and is unwilling to address legitimate concerns about their use across the web, why shouldn't every who isn't interested in using MEGA just block any connections to or from the service?

If a country is unwilling to make any effort to stop this criminal activity, why should individuals and organizations block them. They serve no benefit to the organizations exposing themselves.
