I was going to post that Amazon refuses to sell gun parts but apparently they still do.
Didn't they make headlines for being anti-gun parts purveyors?

And Apple made a huge deal about not unlocking the Boston Bomber's phone but months later helped some government agency unlock an iPhone.
Companies only act according to positive principles when they're in the public eye because that is the only time it's profitable.

But among the few dissenters was Malkia Cyril, executive director of the Center for Media Justice and a leader in the Black Lives Matter network, who warned early and often that the cameras could become tools of surveillance against people of color because “body-worn cameras don’t watch the police, they watch the community being policed, people like me”.
How do people come up with these twisted lies and say that it's the truth?
Amazon has been marketing and selling facial recognition software, called Amazon Rekognition, to law enforcement agencies.
What, Amazon can't make its own product and sell it?
exactly the outcome Cyril feared.
That's not what he feared. What he feared was being held accountable.
Let's put it another way: police cameras protect police from violent offenders, offering testimony on the behalf of an injured or deceased officer. Why would anyone want to remove that protection from police? The spin goes both ways.

It is clear that Google, Amazon, and the like are a threat to democracy. By using their services you help make them stronger. Don't sacrifice your principles for convenience.
