Amazon's bottom line is threatening our civil rights. Selling Rekognition face surveillance to the government will endanger its customers and entire communities. Tell @Amazon to stop selling out our privacy. https://action.aclu.org/petition/amazon-stop-selling-surveillance
What the actual fuck
You realize basically all the major tech companies are all actively developing facial recognition, right? Check out what anyone can do with your own company's tech https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/face/overview
Facial recognition isn’t evil it’s a tool. Just like how a hammer isn’t evil even though it could be used as a weapon.
I'm not saying it's evil. I'm just saying anyone can make the exact same software using Microsoft's APIs. If it's not Amazon selling the software, it will just be some third party company using one of the tech giant's APIs to do it. It's inevitable, the future is now. If you're scared, go to church.. or just move out into the woods
Imagine getting a facial from uncle Jeff
