Amazon Indefinitely Extends Ban On Police Use Of Face Recognition Technology SEATTLE (dpa-AFX) - Amazon is indefinitely extending its moratorium on sale of its face recognition software, Rekognition, to law enforcement, Reuters reported. The company said it would extend its ban on police usage of the technology 'until further notice.' The technology major's one-year ban on the sale of its technology to law enforcement, that was set in June 2020 amidst nationwide protests against police violence, was to expire on June 10, 2021. Amazon had banned the sale to give enough time to the governments to implement stronger regulations for racial equality and justice.
