Amazon's basic business model is not focused on surveillance or putting all your data in the cloud or vendor lock in.
While we could debate what "basic business models" means, Amazon more than anyone wants to understand your life in hopes of selling you everything you might ever want. That is their business. They have as great a motivation to try to mine your existence than the other companies.
- sroerick 12y agoOK, that's a great point. My response is that I'm not really trying to not be marketed to, I'm just trying to be not surveilled. If a company wants to market to people who are trying to avoid surveillance, I'll support them, as long as they don't surveil me to figure that out. Amazon could do that. Google can't. Apple probably could, but they're pretty heavily invested in cloud stuff at this point. Microsoft is, well, Microsoft.
