backblaze signs BAA agreements with companies storing personally identifiable medical information, I wouldn't believe anyone who told me that this facebook data leak was turned off for those customers; they should immediately be investigated and fined if any such breaches indeed happened.

Full agreement, any interest and goodwill towards the company is now completely gone.



Unfortunately HIPPA is actually specific in this scenario. I highly doubt file sizes have to do with PHI. However if you can show that they are sending the actual data in the backup, that would be a reportable offense.

Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice, YMMV.
