#2>the company captures $4 out of every $10 spent online
This should be rephrased as it's only for consumer product purchases

It might be (coincidentally) accurate for cloud as well, if you could disentangle figures for things like O365 and Gsuite.

It's probably very high, but a lot of competitors have been gaining some market share (maybe less proportionally, since the market obviously is increasing still) too, maybe the largest two being Azure and GCP

#5Almost none of those questions were about AWS cybersecurity.

#6What’s an example of a division that AWS subsidizes particularly heavily?
Prime Video, for one. Jeff loves Prime Video because it gives him access to the social scene in LA and New York. He’s newly divorced and the richest man in the world. Prime Video is a loss leader for Jeff’s sex life
errm... That should be on their SEC risk report

This person is almost certainly not that intimately familiar with Jeff's private life. Take this with a grain of salt.

Re: Interview with an anonymous AWS cybersecurity engineer
#9This person is very clearly mixing things that he knows directly, things that he's read about in books (e.g. Amazon's strategy in the early days), and rumors that he's heard (e.g. Jeff Bezos' personal life). There's no way that a cybersecurity engineer at a company as sprawling as Amazon has reliable firsthand knowledge on so many different unrelated topics.
The writer is a faculty associate at the Berkman Klein Center at Harvard Law, which is an organization I have tremendous respect for, so it's really a shame that they were naive enough to publish this.

#10In light of shake-ups at the US Post Office in 2020, this ... smells funny.
"The rumors that I hear, both internal and external, are that we're very seriously interested in acquiring post office real estate. The reason why the post office is valuable to privatize is because of their real estate holdings. They have great real estate in every downtown of every city in the United States. Amazon may be interested in buying all of the post office locations, and we have the cash to do it. So why not?"
