Business Problems Solved by AWS Cloud
Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers scalable and cost-effective cloud computing services. It offers on-demand computing power, database storage, content delivery and more to help companies scale and grow. It is a comprehensive, cloud computing platform that provides various services like Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS). Cloud computing offers on-demand delivery of IT resources on pay-as-you-use or go pricing models over the internet. This helps companies to rent out infrastructure, computing power, storage space and databases which are scalable, rather than owning and maintaining these services on their own.

Are We Living in a Post-Truth World?
Former US president Donald Trump made 30,573 false or misleading claims during his four-year term. While that’s steep on any scale, the idea that politicians routinely lie to the public is not breaking news. But Trump took his relationship with reality to even shakier ground than usual. He widely dismissed unflattering media reports as fake news. He consistently hurled insults at journalists. And he still claims the 2020 US election was rigged against him.

Get verified and explore Fet Life's new facial recognition system.
There is a reason why Facebook and many others have stopped doing this. Facial recognition systems harm people in the community. But face recognition, the technology behind these features, is more than just a gimmick. It is employed for law enforcement surveillance, airport passenger screening, and employment and housing decisions. Despite widespread adoption, face recognition was recently banned for use by police and local agencies in several cities, including Boston and San Francisco. Why? Of the dominant biometrics in use (fingerprint, iris, palm, voice, and face), face recognition is the least accurate and is rife with privacy concerns. Police use face recognition to compare suspects’ photos to mugshots and driver’s license images; it is estimated that almost half of American adults – over 117 million people, as of 2016 – have photos within a facial recognition network used by law enforcement. This participation occurs without consent, or even awareness, and is bolstered by a lack of legislative oversight. Face recognition empowers a law enforcement system with a long history of racist and anti-activist surveillance and can widen pre-existing inequalities. I do not support this as part of Fet Life and it will out others as not even credit card companies are safe from getting hacked. This is a bad idea and bad for the global community to particpate with.
