It wouldn't be unfair to say it has gained a reputation for being a scourge among parents."

    "For example, I've been repeatedly emailed by company spokespeople to tell me that cops only get access to Ring customers' videos if the customers offer to share it; but what they never said is that if a customer turns down a police request, Amazon instructs the cops to make an "official request" to the company and then they grant warrantless access to the footage.

JetBlue is the latest to use facial recognition technology in airports - 0 views

  •  
    "However, there is some concern about how accurate these new procedures will be. Apparently the facial recognition technology doesn't recognize all people will the same accuracy.

Some are also concerned that this is crossing the line in terms of passenger privacy."
