Amazon’s facial recognition software is no longer being used in Orlando, government and police officials said in a joint statement this week, in the wake of criticism from the American Civil Liberties Union.

The tool, Amazon Rekognition, is directly marketed to U.S. law enforcement, and the ACLU in May revealed that the Florida city had used it since 2017. On Monday, the ACLU called for the “secretive” program to be scrapped, noting that it lacked public consent and could potentially be exploited to “conduct mass location tracking of residents without criminal suspicion.”
