#4Not surprised, considering that they spin every little feature into its own AWS service. it would be an insane task to easily control the data flow, retention policy and anything like that.

#5> "These inaccurate, unsubstantiated and dated claims don’t reflect our commitment to keeping personal information safe. Amazon has comprehensive, long-established privacy and security policies, procedures and technologies in place.
Every company has Policies. Zero companies have Realities which match their policies. This means nothing.
> We regularly audit our services to ensure compliance and have zero tolerance for employees at all levels who do not follow our policies,"
The only people who trust security auditors are people who haven't been through a security audit. Many companies who've been hacked were audited. This means nothing.

#6Somehow I am not surprised given all the talk about toxic culture at Amazon from current and past employees.

#7It’s odd to see security issues at a company revealed by a whistleblower instead of a breach. Usually I’d expect if an insider working in security notices problems, that’s good for their career because it’s their job to find and fix that stuff. Obviously if it doesn’t work that way at Amazon, that’s a huge problem.

And how does this solve the problem of information security?

Moving away from a few megacorps would mean consumers have choice in selecting an alternative provider who takes privacy and security more seriously. Today that choice doesn’t exist because Google, Amazon, Facebook, and other big tech companies don’t face competition either due to a traditional monopoly/oligopoly traits, extreme capital advantages, or network effects.

#10Every time I read articles like these, I get dissapointed about the state of the internet.
The only thing you know that is likely to be true is that someone got fired from Amazon, and thats it.
You don't know if they are telling the truth.
You don't know if they were in the right.
You don't know if Amazon was fixing the problem, and they decided to be an asshole and go over their bosses because they felt that not enough was being done.
You don't know if their actions were compromizing the buisness operations.
E.t.c and so on.
If you read this and feel like Amazon did something wrong, you are part of the problem. Don't believe anything that ist backed by clearly cited sources. Which that article clearly lacks. But alas, you clicked and scrolled, so as far as politico.eu is concerned, thats all that you needed to do.
