Amazon is refusing to sell it to the police for a year, as well. Conscience refuses what greed demands.

Another bunch of fucking morons using racism to destroy society and you have no problems helping these jackasses. I hope you realize that all smartphones now have facial recognition capabilities. You really are fucking stupid
Replying to @marwilliamson
Something we can agree on! The technology should be banned. What will probably happen, though, is that we will disband police and then the government will use facial recognition and tracking to record every movement of citizens.

This feels big, but honestly intelligence agencies will just end up developing this creepy shit in-house. Step 2 for humanity will be installing ethical governments that won’t give carte blanche to domestic surveillance. I’m not optimistic about that.

1 year is lip service. It’s so we stop looking. I wouldn’t be surprised if they resume sooner than a year.
