Amazon.com Inc on Wednesday said it was implementing a one-year moratorium on police use of its facial recognition software, halting a business it long defended as many protested law enforcement brutality against people of color.

Nicole Ozer, technology and civil liberties director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California, gave Amazon credit while calling for a more “blanket” moratorium.

This is dangerous

Its really time for humanity to start going off to grid.

The only ethical use of facial recognition is to not use it at all. One doesn't consent to have their picture analyzed and their identity tracked just by appearing in public. It's fundamentally invasive in an unethical way, like most data collection and ad tracking.

If you don’t understand why this is ridiculous... Ask Google.

Settled law. Next!

Only because it can't facial recognize all wily nily with our COVID19 facial covering protection😒😒😒😒duh

My god why are we just sitting back whilst amazon do all this. Does anyone actually look at what they have on all of us. Between them and Facebook and google we have allowed them such power over our actual lives and personal info. We need an incompetent global body regulating

Kool ..but why not just delete it altogether

“Ethical use” 😂 😂 😂 lies

why does amazon have facial recognition technology lol

I'll bet dollars to pesos they are letting China use it right now. Love these ivory tower liberals... Besos hides behind fake morality while becoming the richest hyena on the planet by hocking slaved goods.

That’s comical. Of all companies, it’s Amazon that created the software. Not surprised they would choose to stop assisting police.

So prove this

That’s not enough for me. Amazon should use their devices to spy on all cops 24/7 and make everything cops do 100% transparent to us

poll Urging the purge?

lolololol “ethical use” coming from a company who literally works employers to death

I hope the police stop responding to Amazon calls for service.

What’s going on in Seattle?

You know, until the rabble dies down..

Goggle will pick up the slack

amazon your what? So you’re telling me that you’ve been aiding the police with our information? Shame on you

If they want to ban a tech that helps the citizens maybe is time to leave amazon and support your local store.

Start paying Tax now Jeff

⁉️⁉️⁉️

So lots of rioting if the Donald beats uncle Joe. Got it.

The criminals are rubbing their hands in glee. Defund police , suspend detection software. Fir those people who think they can live harmoniously in a society without social control haven’t thought that scenario through.

A year! Wow, so committed ;)

yeah bc they want it all for themselves and the Mao style government they are working on with Gates and Soros.

Hmmmm

why only for a year? why not like IBM
