Which ones and what is your threat model?

The threat model of the US government, or a US company spying on a US citizen is, to the citizen, about as harmful as the Chinese government spying on them.

Actually moreso, in the case of the US government.

There is no reason for the US government to do industrial espionage on US companies. China might not be doing it either (via TikTok, at least), but it does have a motive.

No, but there's reason for the US government to spy on you, if you are a problem person.

Why do you assume industrial espionage is the sole reason for a government to spy on you?

but amazon doesn't care about its employees in that context, only about protecting their own company standing. (and many people will say here "why shouldn't they?!")
