What's your point? Is the report false? I see similar reports elsewhere. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/09/09/amazon-adds-former-nsa-director-to-board-after-jedi-fi

What's your point? Is the report false? I see similar reports elsewhere. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/09/09/amazon-adds-former-nsa-director-to-board-after-jedi-fight.html https://www.cnbc.com/2020/09/09/amazon-adds-former-nsa-direc... I suppose you just meant to warn against other content there that are inaccurate? Which ones, though? I'm not familiar with that site.

What we know: * JEDI contract was awarded to Microsoft * Amazon brought the case that this contract was not awarded fairly, specifically because AWS was proven to be cheaper for the same capability, indicating favoritism. * Amazon adds national security director to its board (which is different then giving him a director position in charge of a program btw) * Amazon provided/provides cloud service to CIA What is extrapolated without any sort of proof * Amazon wants to spy on citizens Be aware of news sources that focus on the latter rather than the former. Because you can also extrapolate that Amazon just REALLY wants the JEDI contract for no other reason than money just as well as you can any conspiracy theory.

You can use all truth and still deliberately drive people to come to a very false conclusion. The dude is the CEO of a cybersecurity firm and has a wealth of experience.
