@Godmocker Even using a secure connection (SSL), Amazon has certificates which allow them to decrypt all data during any connection you establish. This may not bother you on the surface, which is fine. Still, what is to stop Amazon or an individual employee from selling that data to third parties, or taking your credentials that thought were safe and using your email address, or your amazon account, bank account to buy goods/services which you didn't buy? What happens if their EC2 cloud is compromised by an outsider? Well, in that instance Amazon wouldn't be at fault, but in the former, they would be. If you don't have an issue with them knowing exactly what pages you are looking at, then its not a problem for you, but others still don't like the idea of a company having the ability to see whatever you do online.
