    If the Kindle never has Internet access (and that includes access through another app) Amazon should not be able to connect at all. YouTube buffers content and your device may have already downloaded the entire file, but if it’s a phone it would just switch to the mobile network.

    Sometimes I think I’m too paranoid about this stuff and the next day they’ll be another headline about corporate abuse of “protected” consumer data or yet another breach. Remember Facebook’s years long access of protected medical records through a tracking tool installed on a third of medical websites? I’m probably not paranoid enough.
