This stands in stark contrast to IBM who announced halting facial recognition offerings, Google who has prohibited use of facial recognition against non-public figures from the start, and Amazon who just announced a moratorium on facial recognition use by law enforcement. Not a good look for MSFT.

- Voloskaya 6y agoYou should probably click on the article before commenting though. Microsoft also announced halting sells of facial recognition tech to law enforcement. This is about a pitch that happened 2 years ago.
- Aloha 6y ago"Newly released emails show the company has tried to sell the controversial technology to the government for years, including to the Drug Enforcement Administration in late 2017." I dont think Microsoft is selling it now, even though they might have been in 2017
- darzu 6y agoMicrosoft should put out a statement clarifying this then.
