The campaign against Uncle Sam's use of facial recognition stepped up a notch this week: scores of rights-warriors have urged Amazon, Google, and Microsoft to cease selling the panopticon tech to the US government.

"Companies can't continue to pretend that the 'break then fix' approach works,” said Nicole Ozer, Technology and Civil Liberties director for the ACLU of California, in a statement. "History has clearly taught us that the government will exploit technologies like face surveillance to target communities of color, religious minorities, and immigrants."
