- ctvo 8y agoYou're trying to stop a tidal wave by standing in front of it instead of addressing the root problem: you have no trust in our systems to not abuse this technology, including law enforcement and the federal government. Stopping Amazon's poorly implemented facial recognition system won't stop the N start-ups in the space who are doing it better. It won't stop the Chinese government, which is already using much more advanced versions of this technology to police a significant portion of the human population. Let's say you do manage to stop Amazon from offering this service. Do you think the problem is resolved? Will police departments in the US stop trying to use this technology or will they likely source it from somewhere else with less publicity?
