As an american company, customers should absolutely be distrustful of any claims of security. There is very little in the way of the feds giving you a gag order and ordering you to provide a backdoor.
Amazon has zero recourse in this situation, neither would they risk their gov contracts fighting it.
- strictnein 5y agoYeah, they definitely just invested $xxx millions in a product that they know they won't be able to keep alive. Amazon has plenty of recourse, and they've been fighting gag orders for years now. Ex: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/09/microsoft-amazon-google-apple-fox-news-us-gagging-orders/ https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/09/microsoft-amazon... The company leading that charge: Microsoft. The company that got the huge JEDI DoD cloud contract: Microsoft. Weird, huh?
- rapsey 5y agoNonesense. When they get a gag order they have zero choice and recourse. Their options are shutting down the company or comply. They can join a legal fight to stop this practice, they however must comply with every order they get.
