It was because Amazon cloud, or part of it, was also down.
Are they going to collect information? Yes! Of course! How do you think that when you log into Amazon you get Book's recommendations and so on?
I don't watch porn. And they have my credit card number already, needed for every transaction. So I don't know what the big deal is.
Unless people use a paid proxy or one of the available online privacy services around, there is not such thing as privacy on Internet, is a myth! We will have to disable most java-script and webbrowser goodies in order to truly browse without giving any information whatsoever, which is virtually impossible, pages won't work.

Well, I like porn. And I don't want to share! Those are MY super sekret porn sites.
But honestly, I think it is that most people don't know that amazon tracks them as much as they do. Most people aren't aware that Kindle tracks reading speeds, etc. It's a surprise to a lot of people. I'm not shocked...Amazon has been tracking stuff for years. But this is very FB like. I hope I don't have to get rid of Amazon like I did Facebook.
I'm starting to feel like John Conner had the right idea...
