Amazon must allow shareholders to vote on a resolution that asks the online retailer to stop selling its facial-recognition software tool to government agencies, the US Securities and Exchange Commission says
San Francisco Amazon must allow shareholders to vote on a resolution that asks the online retailer to stop selling its facial-recognition software tool to government agencies, the Security and Exchange Commission said this week.
The SEC on Wednesday rejected Amazon's attempt to squash the shareholder proposals. One proposal asks Amazon's board to stop selling the company's Rekognition software to governments unless a third-party evaluation determines the tool"does not cause or contribute to actual or potential violations of civil and human rights." The other asks Amazon to enlist an outside entity to study the risks of using Rekognition.
