Amazon and Snapchat rank low for protecting user data from government

This story is about two companies which are Amazon and Snapchat. Snapchat is a IPhone app which allows the audience to send pictures of themselves to others who are on their friends list. Amazon is a website in which you are able to buy goods on. Furthermore these sites have now been seen to put into a situation in which they would not want to be and these would be that they have been ranked as the worst data protection companies according to the US private pressure group. Snapchat have been seen to be distributing their users pictures to a third party without their users being informed of this beforehand. Amazon have also been seen to given their customers information out to other parties such as, their details of address which their customers then receive junk mail through the post. The EFF reports had given snap chat a rating of 1 star out of 5 the reason for this is that they had told their users that the messages they will send will disappear forever however, they have kept these snaps and are using them for their own uses. Amazon had received two stars as they are fighting the battle in which they are not keeping their customers data safe therefore, will be fighting in court of these charges which Amazon are yet to respond to these comments
