Amazon has decided to take the wholly selfless and completely original decision to stop supplying police forces with its facial “Rekognition” software, for, wait for it, a whole year.

The anti-racism protests currently tearing through America have prompted the company to consider that, actually, militarised cops might not be that great, and supplying them with facial recognition technology – which civil rights activists say poses a threat to humanity commensurate with nuclear weapons – wasn’t a good look. For now, anyway.
