Information & Ethics committee  We are involved in the web ecosystem, with the ability to understand where people have come from and where they're going from our site. Again, our primary business model is selling products to customers, so that's not the way we monetize our business.

Information & Ethics committee  We participate in the advertising ecosystem, so yes.

Information & Ethics committee  I don't think you can say, a priori, that certain things are always inappropriate, because again, the customer experience is key, and if people want to have a better customer experience based on data that they share.... Consent, obviously, and control are critical.

Information & Ethics committee  We support the privacy principles of user control, consent and so forth. We think the actual legislation is new enough and creates some burdens that we don't think directly impact user privacy in a positive way. While we're fully compliant and fully supportive of the principles, we don't necessarily think it's something that should be applied universally at this point.

Information & Ethics committee  Yes, as well as user control. That's really the key principle.

Information & Ethics committee  Thank you very much. Good morning, Chair Zimmer, members of the committee, and international guests. My name is Mark Ryland. I serve as the director of security engineering in the office of the chief information security officer at Amazon web services, the cloud computing division of Amazon.
