What Jamie wrote
This is a good move from Amazon, but please remember that Amazon also owns Ring. Ring has been shown to flag Black people as "suspicious" at an incredibly high rate. The marketing for the product is entirely sold on fear. I would suggest that Amazon look further than just Rekognition. Ring has always been a privacy nightmare, but it’s use of algorithms that reflect racist patterns is and fear mongering needs to be dealt with.
