Amazon workers reportedly wrote to their boss asking him to stop selling facial recognition software to US law enforcement.

In the letter to CEO Jeff Bezos, first reported by Gizmodo, the employees outlined their fears about how the company's Rekognition technology would be used by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Department of Homeland Security in the current political climate.
