> When in violation this could result in huge fines, loss of business,... The stress is on could. AWS is too big to be allowed to fail. Has Facebook seen such severe consequences because of known misconduct? And AWS is in a much more critical role for many businesses.

This will probably end in nothing, that is true. But it could impact them if there came an issue out of it (someone can prove that AWS downloaded some of their files). AWS doesn't want to go in the news that they look at their customer data as that would impact the decisions of future and current deals of hosting their data on AWS. I've worked for some big financial institutions and the longest part of the contract with AWS was all lawyers going over what is happening with the data, how AWS has access to it and especially how it doesn't have access to it.
