Amazon is helping Law enforcement

[DaveTN]

It’s getting harder and harder to be a criminal. I wonder if Amazon can stand the heat?

I had no doubt they are in this for the money and not for helping communities; but anyway…

The ALCU is already crying foul.  No doubt this will be headed to the courts.

I assume he is talking about Amazon Rekognition.

I will just say I am immediately against it simply for the fact the "c" in recognition is replaced with a "k".  I'll study on it's true implications later.

They do that to copyright it.  But as to the service, there are already a few out there.

 

Just adding; this is why it got on the news

Wishful thinking for Amazon. I’m pretty sure the press picked to cover the wedding knew who those guests were.

It was for the watchers on the live stream, it made the id and gave a few factoids of each celebrity.

So many people were so obsessed with that. I had no desire to watch a total stranger's wedding.
