Microsoft will stop selling facial recognition technology to the police, days after Amazon and IBM made similar announcementshttps://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/06/11/microsoft-facial-recognition/ …
My take, in rage tweet thread form:https://twitter.com/lizjosullivan/status/1271141003001565184?s=21 …
This should feel like winning but it feels more like a thinly veiled threat. /1
https://thehill.com/policy/technology/502289-microsoft-will-not-sell-facial-recognition-to-police-departments …That’s a very misleading tweet @kateconger. From the article, “Smith said that Microsoft has not sold its facial-recogntion technology to law enforcement.”
Additionally, only "until there is a federal law regulating the technology." Which probably won't help much.
Suspensions are not ending the practice. Do better!!!!!!!!
It’s “pausing sales” not canceling contracts. Besides facial rec is notoriously unreliable for black and brown.
The moratoriums are well-intentioned, but won't necessarily likely to do much to help assure our privacy. THe question is how much we actually care. See:https://medium.com/@kimbellard/your-face-is-not-your-own-d6e5b87e7ca3?sk=959d9ca138618e669ddfdbdf29b1c6a6 …
