The damage this did to american tech companies doing business overseas is HUGE.

How can you trust Amazon won't give access to your RDS account to someone? A hyperbole now but could happen in the future: How can I trust a judge didn't ask cisco to add backdoors to give NSA access to our networks???

I do business with the government (in Brazil) and they asked me to move out of amazon ASAP, we pay a small fortune every month to amazon, we will have to set up a custom environment to this one single contract now.
