“Could” is a broad term. It’s technically feasible, the right question I think is “Do They?” I doubt that they do.

I’m trying to establish how paranoid I should be about the privacy of my personal documents. I’m sure Amazon has mass-scale algorithms to recall any specific material distributed through its platform. So the deletion of all copies of this unauthorized Orwell book, I bet was executed by pressing a single button. In order to check the content of my personal documents (in my Kindle) though, Amazon would have to selectively target ME.

Why would it do that? So yes, I’m deciding to chill.
