Amazon shareholders to vote on selling facial recognition tech to government

Civil liberties groups, members of Congress, Amazon employees and some shareholders have called on the company to stop selling its Reckognition software to government agencies. The program has been criticized for not being completely reliable and making mistakes with its matches. Concerns were raised last July when the American Civil Liberties Union said Reckognition software incorrectly identified 28 Congress members as criminals.
Amazon's board is recommending that shareholders vote against the proposal.
