ACLU Challenges Amazon Over Human Rights

A number of organizations led by the ACLU that includes the Electronic Frontier Foundation have
issued a challenge to Amazon over that behemoth's violation of fundamental rights.



Here's the key paragraph:

People should be free to walk down the street without being watched by the government. Facial recognition in American communities threatens this freedom. In overpoliced communities of color, it could effectively eliminate it. The federal government could use this facial recognition technology to continuously track immigrants as they embark on new lives. Local police could use it to identify political protesters captured by officer body cameras. With Rekognition, Amazon delivers these dangerous surveillance powers directly to the government.
