There is absolutely no reason to believe they are not conspiring with the NSA. They have a huge deal with the CIA, plausible some of these funds are for surveillance capabilities. They would not (and likely would be legally prohibited from) disclosing any relationship they have.

- smsm42 8y ago> There is absolutely no reason to believe they are not conspiring with the NSA. Or, more likely, being made an offer they can not refuse by the NSA. And the rank-in-file engineers may not even know it's happening, all it takes is inserting some diverting code into the pipeline and calling it "QA monitoring" or something. Couple of people in the whole org would know that somebody from some IP connects and downloads these "QA" data periodically, all the rest would be completely ignorant and indignant at the thought. Don't see anything preventing this from happening at Amazon - or anywhere else.
