I don't understand this comment. Being critical of the implications of facial recognition technology doesn't map cleanly along the political spectrum, but the most vocal criticism has come from the left. Amazon shareholders largely consist of institutional investors whose interests (and politics) tend to the more conservative.

In what sense are progressives being hypocritical here? As far as I can tell progressive (leaning) employees and other minority shareholders proposed an initiative that was rejected by the majority, more conservative shareholders.

Do you have a link handy?
