Information & Ethics committee  Speaking for Amazon web services, where I work, importing and exporting are fundamental capabilities of our platform. We never have an import service that doesn't have an accompanying export service, whether they are virtual machine formats or other kinds of import/export data formats.

Information & Ethics committee  Again, I apologize. I'm not an expert in the competition law area. The panel discussion was on security, consumer protection and privacy, where I do have some expertise, but I'm not able to answer your questions on that area.

Information & Ethics committee  I apologize, but I don't have the expertise to answer those questions.

Information & Ethics committee  We certainly look at the trends, purchases and behaviour of our customers, in terms of determining future—

Information & Ethics committee  I think the fact that the third party marketplace is wildly successful and that there are a huge number of very successful businesses in it is a very clear indicator that this is not a problem.

Information & Ethics committee  No.

Information & Ethics committee  Our business model is very consistent with consumer privacy, because it's all about meeting customer choice through a traditional purchase-and-sale model of capabilities and products and services.

Information & Ethics committee  Again, I have to say that I'm not an expert in competition law and I don't know the history or the details of some of the things you mention. In the general business that we're in, we see robust competition across all these businesses. There are a lot of new start-ups, and we even have a great number of competitors who use our Amazon Web Services platform.

Information & Ethics committee  I'll need to get back to you on that. I really don't know the answer to that.

Information & Ethics committee  Yes.

Information & Ethics committee  We'll follow up on that.

Information & Ethics committee  We strive very hard to work on good algorithmic fairness, and it's one of our fundamental principles. We have test data sets to make sure that we're constantly meeting the bar on that.

Information & Ethics committee  I think the market is doing a good job of making sure that companies set a good bar on that.

Information & Ethics committee  We face robust competition in the markets we're in. In the cloud business, for example, our main competition is the old way of doing IT business, and there's a vast array of competitors across that.

Information & Ethics committee  Again, it's an area outside of my expertise. I hate to give that answer.
