Complaint
The programme and associated online article reported on alleged concerns arising from plans to move US Defense Department data to the cloud, Amazon Web Services (AWS) having participated in the related public tender. AWS UK Ltd complained that the claims made were inaccurate, unfair and unbalanced in a number of respects.
Outcome
Whilst the ECU did not uphold all of the complaints made, it found that the suggestion that awarding the contract to AWS may constitute a security threat could not be justified.
Partly upheld
Further action
The online article and associated material has been taken down and a correction has been put on the Corrections and Clarifications page of bbc.co.uk.
