"Some of us would require more than "I doubt" when dealing with companies that hoover up data into massive databases of information on people that has previously only existed when countries national security apparatus had reason to suspect that you were a spy."

If true, then why are you people using credit cards in the first place??! Your credit card company has more information on you, thanks to you people flicking that credit card out for £5 lattes, than Amazon will have in decades.

Never you mind Google with your web searches, Gmail, collaboration systems, ad tracking and worse, embedded cellphone telemetry.

You won't complain about them but will complain about Amazon, plus even the HINT of government data collection.
