Amazon workers are calling on the firm’s CEO Jeff Bezos to stop selling powerful face recognition tech to U.S. law enforcement and cease providing infrastructure to government-linked software giant Palantir, saying they “refuse to contribute to tools that violate human rights.”

The letter circulated inside Amazon after it emerged that several tech companies had sold software tools to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the federal agency at the center of a controversial family separation policy this week. It followed a May ACLU report exposing how Amazon face-scanning tech called “AWS Rekognition” had been sold to police and government agencies.
