Bukola Ayandare, an educational consultant in Ibadan, has accused Verozat Global Ventures, a travel agency, of defrauding him of N354,000. Ayandare told FIJ he fell for the scam orchestrated by Verozat Global Service because of their convincing profile on Facebook. He said his unfortunate deal with the fraudulent firm started in 2022 after a student approached him for an opportunity to work abroad in 2022. At the time, he said, he knew nothing about working abroad, so he decided to find a work-abroad pro to help out. This quest led him to the Verozat Global Page, which he claimed appeared legitimate due to the listed address and other details that conveyed credibility. “I thought the address was real. At the same time, I found out that the company was registered. This was what made me feel safe in dealing with them,” Ayandare told FIJ.

Facebook: The Oxford study used well-being data from nearly a million people across 72 countries over 12 years and harnessed actual individual usage data from millions of Facebook users worldwide to investigate the impact of Facebook on well-being. Credit: Shutterstock The largest independent scientific study ever conducted, investigating the spread of Facebook across the globe found no evidence that the social media platform's worldwide penetration is linked to widespread psychological harm, according to research today from leading Oxford internet researchers. The independent Oxford study, published in the Royal Society Open Science, used well-being data from nearly a million people across 72 countries over 12 years and harnessed actual individual usage data from millions of Facebook users worldwide to investigate the impact of Facebook on well-being.

The research paper states, "Although reports of negative psychological outcomes associated with social media are common in academic and popular writing,  » Read More

Hennessy’s Irish Pub in Merida, Yucatán. Photo: Facebook Facebook took down the Hennessy’s Irish Pub page after receiving complaints about its upcoming drag trivia night, the restaurant’s owner said. Sean Hennessy said that right-wing activists in the United States targeted his page, reporting it as offensive. A “war on drag” is currently underway north of the border, where cross-dressing bans are being pushed in Tennessee and Texas, among other jurisdictions.   But he never expected Facebook — or its bots — to remove his page, even if it’s just temporarily. Followers urged him to submit an appeal. “I am in shock that a business page can be treated this way and would love to know what community standard we broke,” Hennessy posted on his personal Facebook page. “Drag is very much part of the Mexican community and my community. I am outraged.” Sean Hennessy.

Amazon is the most successful manufacturer of Arm server chips, accounting for just over half of Arm-based server CPUs currently deployed, while some chipmakers are also now betting on Arm-based Windows PCs. This information comes from a report issued by Bernstein Research which estimates that nearly 10 percent of servers across the world contain Arm processors, and 40 percent of those are located in China, as we reported earlier. But that total is beaten by just one company – Amazon – which has slightly above 50 percent of all Arm server CPUs in the world deployed in its Amazon Web Services (AWS) datacenters, said the analyst. Amazon currently uses its own Graviton family of chips, designed by the Annapurna Labs division of Amazon Web Services and introduced to the world back in 2018, which are for its own internal use only. The latest iteration is the Graviton3E for high-performance computing applications, introduced towards the end of 2022. According to Bernstein, because these chips were optimized for the specific needs of AWS,  » Read More
