Amazon and CIA

Here's an interesting report about possible ties between Amazon.com and the CIA through Amazon's recent purchase of the Washington Post:

Whether or not Jeff Bezos collaborates with CIA, the sort of information Amazon.com collects about its customers is certainly fair game for being spied upon (i.e., stolen) by CIA, FBI, NSA, and anyone else who pretends it has anything to do with "homeland security".

This particular genie is NOT going back into the bottle no matter how many people sign petitions. And all corporations, not just Amazon.com, are faced with the same problem: they've got info that Uncle Sam wants, and Uncle is going to get it one way or the other.
