Amazon will temporarily stop providing its facial recognition software to police

From my point of view,
Amazon is pro-looting.

The more local shops that get shut down by riots, the more people that will order basic supplies online- and the fewer shops to be buying those supplies.
That drives Amazon's cost to buy down, and number of sales up.

For that to make a noticeable change in Amazon's revenue it had to be a general looting across all the country, I don't think a dozen stores in a half dozen locations makes any difference in Amazon's world wide market.

For a year.

So Antifa and BLM domestic terrorists can continue to terrorize the country before the election without fear of this system.

We are in a Civil War. The quicker the right realizes this and starts to physically fight back the quicker this will be over.

On one hand i think this is good. Amazon shouldn’t even have this service. Corporate spying is one of the greater evils we allow in the system

On the other this is blatant clout chasing by a multinational corporation which will embolden people to think the corporation is on their side.

Pro tip: they’re not. They don’t care about BLM, and their support probably means BLM no longer means what you think it does.

People are avoiding areas of cities where protests are taking place. Businesses in those areas won't open as long as there are protestors intimidating them.

Which is what's so painful to behold in all this. When the corporations, celebs, and politicians are fully on board with 'your agenda,' then it's not your agenda...it's their's.
