Shareholders seeking to halt Amazon's sale of its facial recognition technology to US police forces have been defeated in two votes that sought to pressure the company into a rethink. Civil rights campaigners had said it was "perhaps the most dangerous surveillance technology ever developed". But investors rejected the proposals at the company's annual general meeting. That meant less than 50% voted for either of the measures. A breakdown of the results has yet to be disclosed.
DO NOT TO ANY BUSINESS WITH AMAZON! IF YOU DO YOUR DATA ( Face Recognition via Whole Foods Store Cameras and Alexa Inquiries also if you have ANY Alexa connected to ANY of your WiFi at home) WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE TO STATE, LOCAL AND FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT. You need to TOTALLY get everything out of your house that has any connection to Amazon - Period!!
