Glenn Greenwald: Amazon one of the world's biggest threats to privacy

After Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos went on the offensive against the National Enquirer and its parent company AMI, saying they threatened to release intimate photos of himself and his girlfriend, Lauren Sanchez, many in the media lauded the billionaire for his stance and his defense of privacy. Some critics of Amazon, however, found the situation ironic. "I totally disapprove of what the National Enquirer did to Jeff Bezos, I do," Tucker Carlson said regarding the alleged extortion and blackmail attempt. "But, it does raise the question: What is Amazon doing to the rest of us?" "I wish we were a society that left consensual adult sex to the people engaged in them... That's all the reasons why we should value privacy," journalist Glenn Greenwald said on "Tucker Carlson Tonight" before adding that "one of the companies that poses the greatest threat to [privacy] is Amazon." Greenwald, co-founding editor of The Intercept, said Amazon's online marketplace is just a small part of the huge company's operation -- and, in fact, its primary business has contributed heavily to making America a "surveillance state."
