I get it, but also can you imagine a foreign country banning Amazon because "it means the US can see what you're up to and it gets to choose what deals to push at you" etc?

I mean.. Facebook for god's sake..

Being protectionist makes sense sometimes but it screws you over when other countries start banning your apps in favour of home grown alternatives..

Uh, there are several countries that ban Amazon. And amusingly, the EU Parliament has also banned their employees from entering the building.
