Do you suppose that Amazon, which actively sells cloud services to the US intelligence community, is less able or willing to spy on your setup than a VPN provider would be? I have some bad news for you.
- sterlind 9y agoAWS would lose lots of business if their complicity became public. Foreign customers have lost confident in the security/data compliance of public cloud in the wake of the NSA revelations. It'd be bad for the NSA, too. I assume they are spying but only rarely act on the data they're slurping. If Amazon loses customers, and the NSA has eyes inside, the NSA loses their eyes.
- notacoward 9y ago> AWS would lose lots of business if their complicity became public. So would any VPN provider. The incentives are no different, and neither are the opportunities, so recommending one over the other is a bit suspect.
