I'm sure Amazon will soon begin offering private police services, which will dovetail with the police defunding movement.

The solutions are almost always worse than the problem.

Identifying criminals is now racist. IBM has also recently announced that it will cancel it's facial recognition program due to it being racist.

Somehow I get the feeling they will still use it covertly to identify dissidents, they just won't make it available to be used in crime investigations.

They didn't have a problem selling Germany the machines to count the jews..

Why the sudden change of heart?
