stop thinking of Amazon as a relatively harmless place where ppl buy stuff. along with horrific working conditions, Amazon is in the surveillance business w/ both Ring & it’s facial recognition program, Rekognition.

Amazon workers in Minnesota are striking July 15 & 16th in protest of poor working conditions & rampant anti-Blackness / Islamophobia. it’s important to stand with workers, even if the picket line happens to be digital.pic.twitter.com/1YBvZGvPq6

Amazon has partnered with police to hand out Ring devices. it has also tried selling Rekognition to ICE - fully aware that not only is the program wildly inaccurate, but facial recognition in the hands of the US gov is a clear threat to oppressed communities.
