Does anyone have any idea how long this has been going on? And: it only happens when rendering the filenames to a browser window right? So only when I browse folder y in bucket x are my filenames for that folder shared with FB? Backblaze, I really enjoyed being a paying customer. Until now. Bunch of dorks. Edit: goes to show you have to encrypt EVERYTHING at rest, even file names...

  The ad hominem stuff isn't classy at all. I agree. It was a heat of the moment thing. Mostly I'm being angry at invasive tracking being the norm when going down the 'growth hacking' path. I must lack perspective but it saddens me that contextual advertising and focus groups apparently aren't enough. edit: to make up by adding something actually useful to the discussion... I checked and I don't see any DNS requests being made for any facebook domain when browsing my B2 buckets. Maybe by now they got rid of the tracking pixel?

    Do you have an adblocker installed? Or do you uses Firefox with its built-in tracker protection?
