slimy, dickhead move for a paid service
It is just a dumb mistake.

- loeg 6y agoI believe the tracking is intentional; I also believe that sending the filenames as part of that is a dumb mistake.
- busymom0 6y agoThe tweet says "I even opted out of their tracking widget thing!" and yet it continues tracking. Major mess up.
- smolder 6y agoA dumb mistake that leaks private information to a third party seems like good reason not to trust or use their service. For me, the idealogue, the fact they're sending any tracking data from the dash to Facebook is enough reason.
- magicalhippo 6y agoThe thing is, even if it was a dumb mistake, it's one of those mistakes a company like Backblaze can't afford to make. If they don't pay attention to stuff like this, then why should I trust them with anything at all? This isn't some minor oopsie, this is failing to deliver on their core product[1]: Top Backblaze B2 Use Case Solutions Backup & Archive Store securely to the cloud incl. safeguarding data on VMs, servers, NAS, and computers [1]: https://www.backblaze.com/b2/cloud-storage.html https://www.backblaze.com/b2/cloud-storage.html
- dexterdog 6y agoBackblaze is not led by dumb people. This was a conscious decision that they made and the got caught. I used to recommend them to people and I never will again.
