Selling access to you is not the same as selling the data, and it is in fact dishonest to equate the two. There is no endpoint Amazon provides where I can get data about people.
They have no reason to sell the data - it's their crown jewels and competitive advantage.
- newscracker 8y agoThe same can be said of Google and Facebook too. Data is their "crown jewel" and platforms on top of that are their competitive advantage. But we do see goof ups and data being sold (to specific "partners" or affiliates) or stolen anyway. The easier route for those who value privacy is not to use such platforms and devices in the first place. Amazon and a Google are no different from this perspective.
