does she know how internet works? Everything she said is a Lie. We had a Massive outage in US caused by Verizon/AWS routing issue, which caused a global outage sine 70% of the internet works through AWS. Shame such people are in charge of out communications. I do not see any thing that qualifies her for this Position.
