I dont know how "demand progress" got my email address. Heres a doozy I got today. It would be funny if it werent so damn pathetic. I had to share. Have at it:
Quote:
Amazon wants to equip your racist neighbor with spy technology.
That way they’d be able to call the cops on anyone – just for walking by. They’ve recently patented technology that combines doorbell cameras and facial recognition^1 to turn every neighborhood into a 1984 surveillance nightmare.
...
Users could “white-list” certain visitors, and automatically call the local police on others.
... And again, it has to be said: facial recognition still fails to identify women and people of color correctly.
..
Now Amazon is signalling that they can skip the middleman and bring racial profiling literally to your front door.
Literally anything is (or could be) racist now-a-days. Over the past couple of years we've learned that math and science are racist, band-aids are racist, merit-based advancement/placement is racist, fashion is racist, government is racist, law enforcement and the military are intrinsically racist, and all white people are racist even prior to exiting the womb. I can't be too sure, but I'm beginning to wonder whether or not my dogs might be racist since their poop eventually turns white when left in the yard for too long. And don't even get me started on my parents' cat, I've been suspicious of him since day one. He's bright white, fat, always gets his way, and he's notorious for his after-hours #metoo style forays around their neighborhood. I'm thoroughly convinced it's no coincidence that his name is Harvey.
What right do these people have to assume that people buy these devices specifically to see what race the person outside their door is? If someone I don't know is on my front porch ringing my doorbell, I don't care if they are white, black, or purple, I want to know what their motive is. Maybe people want to be protected from crime, period. There are white criminals too, and isn't it a bit racist for "Demand Progress" to assume that the person outside the door that is up to no good will be non-white?
It isn't the work of some liberal, or some conservative, it is just the work of some idiot. We have them, you have them, they are among us.
That "email" is simply nonsense.
As usual you are talking about something that you know NOTHING about. Don’t you grow tired of having this pointed out to you?
Demand Progress is run by the Sixteen Thirty fund ... a Soros-backed Democratic Party fund.
Just follow the money to find out who is supporting this manufactured race war. It’s *always* the same group.
