> there is such a huge separation in access and rigour around governance that there is no way anyone within Amazon can simply login and see your data even if unencrypted.

I personally choose not to believe a company which puts on its board of directors a well-known perjurer [1].

Don't forget the mass surveillance of his old job. Even if he didn't lie, you might want to think of hiring him for your cloud services.

We were talking about Amazon here, that discussion probably merits another thread. But yes, I do believe more in companies that don’t bring in ex-government crooks on their board of directors.
