BREAKING: We’ve obtained documents that reveal Microsoft tried to sell its face recognition surveillance system to the DEA — the scandal-ridden federal law enforcement agency powering America’s racist drug war.

Even after belatedly promising not to sell face surveillance tech to police last week, Microsoft has refused to say whether it would sell the technology to federal agencies like the DEA and FBI.

Same goes for Amazon.

It is troubling enough to learn that Microsoft tried to sell a dangerous technology to the DEA. It is even more disturbing now that AG Barr has reportedly expanded the agency's surveillance authorities, which could be abused to spy on people protesting police brutality.
