Paul Graham on Twitter: "Amazon should make it clear that they're not using AWS usage growth to select deals. Otherwise they're implicitly leaking every startup's growth stats. https://t.co/hIMdUs7vg7"

  We need strong antitrust laws in the US and globally to weaken Amazon and other tech companies’ monopoly.

  They maybe already done that, as AWS does contact their customer based on usage (bill) growth

  Agreed 95%. Something like ZKPs for confidential internal co data could be a huge value unlocker! This is @clearbanc ^ Inf :) Cc: @anishmohammed

  Startups: Just to be safe, I reccomend adding a loop to your back-end which linearly increases your usage each month. Gotta pump those numbers up.

  This is ethically wrong if not illegal. You can’t use private data for a use for which it is not intended.

  I wrote this satirically about Google in 2013. Would be SHOCKED if any ruthlessly competitive firm was NOT farming its data this way, to some extent...along with a convenient rationalization. https://www.forbes.com/sites/stevefaktor/2013/12/21/my-application-to-be-googles-next-ceo/ …pic.twitter.com/V6JTbVsSuC

  #amazon wants to be the Nielsen rating in startup investing. If I was investor I won't trust them - they don't have skin in the game. Prob Amazon should create an index fund based on AWS usage data ; put the money where their mouth is
