Problem if Amazon turns that info over to (1) gov't officials, (2) corporations who want to sell me something, (3) third-party agencies working for "the people," (4) academic, scientific or religious organizations with an agenda: potentially massive.

Okay......you make sense on those points.
Does this mean you never use those "loyalty" cards the supermarkets hand out also?
Cause if you do.........every purchase you make is recorded
and followed.
Do you belong to Costco or Sam's? Ditto.
Do you buy anything from Amazon? triple ditto.
All your purchase history "could" be sold to the agencies you quoted also.
Credit card companies are notorious for selling data.
The point I"m trying to make, is that no matter what you do, unless you live in a cave, and leave no paper trail whatsoever, ........you're data, history, everything is out there.
'shrug. Its too late to be worrying about 'privacy'.
