BREAKING: Microsoft just announced it will not sell face recognition technology to the police.
When even the makers of face recognition refuse to sell this surveillance technology because it is so dangerous, lawmakers can no longer deny the threats to our rights and liberties.
It should not have taken protests against police brutality and for Black lives, and the deployment of military-grade surveillance equipment on those protests, for these companies to wake up to the everyday realities of police surveillance for Black and Brown communities.
Microsoft, Amazon, and IBM have finally started to take action. But we still have a long way to go to forever end the over-policing and surveillance of Black and Brown communities.
The fight to defend our privacy rights for face surveillance is just getting started.

Congress and legislatures nationwide need to immediately put a pause on law enforcement use of this technology.
