You might want to read the article again. No part of it says that Amazon read private messages on Facebook.

Yeah, AFAIK it was login-with-facebook partners like Spotify. Were people ever able to login to Amazon with facebook?

y'know, I never thought about it, but I think I agree with you that being willing to pay another company for access to private information about you probably counts as not caring about your privacy.
It's not as bad. It's the difference between paying somebody to tell them secrets about you and selling secrets about you. But it's definitely not a thing a person respectful of your privacy would do.
Not according to the NY Times this week. Amazon have been reading your private messages on Facebook.
