There have been 28 confirmed Canadian cases of BIA-ALCL — 24, or 86 percent — of the illnesses were linked to Allergan's Biocell breast implant, according to Health Canada.

Amazon must let shareholders vote on limiting facial recognition sales, SEC saysAmazon must allow shareholders to vote on a resolution that asks the online retailer to stop selling its facial-recognition software tool to government agencies, the US Securities and Exchange Commission says We are all so focused on the current administration, most don’t realize Amazon and other companies are pretty much controlling the nation. It’s dangerous bc they don’t even seem bound by the constitution. 😔 Welcome to the 21st century. And welcome to 21st century problems.

It’s not anything new that facial recognition can be fooled like in Mission impossible where they use realistic human masks.
