Summary

Deleting media does not purge Cloudflare cache, so S3 media URLs remain accessible after deletion.

Deploy Fluxer with Cloudflare enabled.
Upload and send media attachments.
Delete the message or delete the user or enable delete messages in privacy settings.
Try to open the original media URL directly. The media still loads even after deletion.
