Summary: The following article discusses how last year, one European Union employee and 2 U.S. employees acted as whistleblowers on Amazon’s mishandling of customer data. For example, the data storage is so convoluted that it would be nearly impossible to enact “the right to be forgotten,” a right that people have the right to have their data completely deleted. Thousands of former employees still have access to the system, even though they do not work there anymore. Amazon has struggled to patch weaknesses due to the size of the company.
