amazonaws.com is registered with Markmonitor, yes: The 'registrar' is
MarkMonitor, Inc and the 'registrant' is Amazon.com, Inc.

If you mean that address appears in the status bar when page
http://www.lemonde.fr/ is loading, look at the bottom of that page.
There is a Facebook logo.
Le Monde have a Facebook account, and they are letting Facebook put

So they are trying to track you, but probably only to sell you things.
This is something that Torbrowser is designed to stop, as long as you
