Completely glossed over in the article is the most important point: the ACLU rigged the results. How is it that the ACLU gets a pass at being technically challenged?!

“an Amazon spokesperson attributed the results to poor calibration. The ACLU’s tests were performed using Rekognition’s default confidence threshold of 80 percent — but Amazon says it recommends at least a 95 percent threshold for law enforcement applications where a false ID might have more significant consequences.”

““An identification — whether accurate or not — could cost people their freedom or even their lives,”

The idiot who wrote the article said they were "false matches." Says who? I want 28 criminal investigations!

Throw them in jail. Would they give us the benefit of the doubt? It's clear that they are planning on using this to put a boot on our necks.

Identified members of Congress and POC as criminals? I'd say it's working pretty darn well actually
