"We are implementing a one-year moratorium on police use of Rekognition" ... until this whole thing blows over. /s
They're leaving money on the table, but it will still be there in a year, and they'll only miss whatever Amazon's functional analog of "compound interest" is.

- txcwpalpha 6y agoMy guess is that they don't view facial recognition as an inherently bad thing, but they do view it as bad when wielded by bad actors (such as the current police environment). The optimistic view is that this moratorium is to see if police departments truly do reform themselves over the next year to the point where they can be trusted to use facial recognition again. I hope a reevaluation takes place then.
