I understand from this that we are forced to share PII with Amazon with every interaction, but we are not supposed to share it with Twitter followers. US citizens can get their dossiers and delete their accounts. https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/amazon-p... I received 88 zip files and subsequently deleted my account.

>88 zip files

This is madness. How is the 'average user' supposed to go through and understand this data? The files inside are also probably a bunch of CSV or XML files as well.

It seems like a completely disingenuous (even nefarious) offer to the 'average user' to have a change to look at all the data these big companies have on them.
