Global Espionage Pact Between Amazon and British Agencies

Jeff Bezos’s Amazon has reached an agreement with the UK’s three spy agencies to host classified material collected in the global internet from all countries where these agencies are active, in a specially-created cloud. Amazon Web Services (AWS), the company’s cloud computing arm, which controls 30 percent of the global “cloud sphere”, will be used by GCHQ, MI5, and MI6 in addition to government departments such as the Ministry of Defense during joint operations.
