Summary

Amazon temporarily stopped using facial recognition technology to assist police, citing racial justice and privacy concerns raised by Black Lives Matter and privacy advocates. In response, Amazon launched the "Eyes on Amazon" Campaign to pressure the company to halt the service, highlighting its role in expanding surveillance and racial profiling that led to the recent unrest in Washington, D.C.

As the one-year anniversary of the uprising approaches, the company expanded its surveillance scope to catch criminals, which has intensified tensions between corporate security and community safety. Although Amazon announced a moratorium on police Rekognition use, critics argue this measures do not adequately protect workers or the marginalized, leaving communities vulnerable to future arrests without fair judicial oversight.
