Fully agreed that it needs to be done right. I'm definitely not the best person to try and write it.
It also needs to be area specific. A predominantly republican area would need a different message to a predominantly black community.
Has Amazon ever actually said it wouldn't sell the results of face tracking to data brokers? I can easily see it happening. It's a lot of tasty data to them.
I don't think they've said anything yet, but I don't know if the tech is there for identifying random people.
Simple: “do you trust Amazon to not give away private pictures of you getting home late at night or leaving early in the morning? What happens when Amazon thinks that you’ve committed a crime you know you haven’t? Your own devices will be used against you, your friends, and your family. It isn’t if, but when.”
