Correct! Amazon’s image recognition software and cloud servers. https://surprise.blackblogs.org/en/2020/07/05/9-correct-amazons-image-recognition-software-and-cloud-servers/ Sun, 05 Jul 2020 09:06:53 +0000 http://surprise.blackblogs.org/?p=213 We promote security, patriotism and nationalism. Everyone should go where they culturally belong – except our specialists, of course. That’s why Amazon Cloud AWS (Amazon Web Services) provides services for the US foreign intelligence agency CIA and some homeland security and police agencies in the US. With JEDI we are currently applying for the largest service contract in the history of the Pentagon. Here, methods of Machine Learning will be integrated into the data processing of the US military. We have already sold facial recognition “Recognition” to several police and border patrol agencies in the USA, including the inevitably racist migration authority ICE. This enables surveillance cameras to match even large crowds of people with millions of digitally captured faces and identify people in virtually real time. The German Federal Police also use AWS to archive video and audio recordings taken with so-called body cams in action.
Jeff Bezos, owner of Amazon and now the richest man in the world with over 100 billion, is committed to control and surveillance and is keen to support the CIA and NSA with the latest developments.
 
Amazon’s home surveillance technology “Ring” features a smart doorbell with motion sensors and video. This enables the remote monitoring of your front door. To ensure your comfort, we have to record who wants what and when at your front door. In the USA, the police and security authorities can gain access to the individual cameras relatively easily, which makes us proud and serves your security.
 
At the same time, Alexa gives us access to private conversations in many households, which are recorded and analyzed. In the past, there have been repeated data leaks and unauthorized access by the German secret services. We are sincerely sorry about this, because we would like to have the data only for ourselves and to decide ourselves how to pass it on. US secret services already have access to any data collected by Amazon.
 
With the Amazon “language assistant” Alexa, most users associate a female name and a female voice. Always listening, friendly and submissive, “she” executes almost all commands. Hereby Amazon reproduces and strengthens a stereotypical image of women. Even with sexual demands “she” keeps a friendly tone. Alexa’s submissiveness is not surprising, since the principle of command and execution is already ingrained in computer science, which is still a largely male-dominated field of work today. 60 percent of the women working in Silicon Valley reported having experienced sexual harassment in their work environment. The former entertainment director of Amazon Roy Price was also suspended for sexual harassment.
