AWS is Harvesting AI Customers’ Content by Default, and Storing it Outside Users’ Selected Regions

AWS is harvesting customer’s “AI content” for its own product development purposes and storing it outside the geographic regions that customers have explicitly selected.

The cloud provider’s users may need to have read through 15,000+ words of service terms to notice this fact. The default for users is an opt-in to permit this.

AWS has until recently required customers to actively raise a support ticket if they want to stop this happening (if they had noticed it was in the first place).

Less detail-oriented AWS users, who opted instead to just read 100 words of AWS’s data privacy FAQs  — “AWS gives you ownership and control over your content through simple, powerful tools that allow you to determine where your content will be stored” — may be in for something of a shock. (Always read the small print…)

PTA denies being responsible for disruption in Amazon Web Services

Since a few days there have been speculations circulating on social media platforms that PTA is responsible for the disruption in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) faced by some users. Some have even connected the issue with that of the recent ban on PUBG.

In response to these PTA issued an official statement today denying that the two are connected and that the authority has anything to do with the disruption.

“The ban on PUBG is in place since 10 July whereas AWS users faced issues reportedly on 23 July. Complaints received by operators from AWS users also show that they experienced intermittent accessibility issues and not complete blocking of AWS IPs or services. Furthermore, this phenomenon was not specific to Pakistan only but users in other countries including United States also experienced similar issues. PTA has already clarified the matter through its social media accounts as well when this trend was first seen on social media.”
