MEGA, the “privacy company,” is now based in Hungary, via MEGA Privacy Kft in Csomád. Found this out on their “About us” page.

Wow now that’s interesting. Well corpo tax is apparently low in here, that might explain why.
That’s not a real office address, if you search for the full address you will get a lot other companies as results.
So that’s an address of a “headquarter provider” company, they are very common in Hungary. In Hungary companies have to pay different taxes based on where their HQ is, and taxes are lower in small villages like Csomád. I don’t know how common is this elsewhere.
Here is a G* streetview of the house: https://maps.app.goo.gl/sQW19pN3c1m4qFuH8 But this should be irrelevant, just to see it’s not even an office building
So they just have a Hungarian shell company? From publicly available local data I found, the company was established on 2025-02-27, with less than 10000 EUR capital.
Maybe they needed it to more easily operate in the EU?
It’s pretty common in the US too. A lot of companies are legally headquartered in Delaware. A lot of international companies have their EMEA HQ in Ireland.
Not joking I read it as maga
I understand that it was an honest mistake to read as “maga”, but you have to stop viewing the world through politics or have a phrase make your mind jump immediately to a political meaning of the phrase
