Microsoft was asked to stop selling the facial recognition software to government agencies by over 85 human rights groups. They urged not only Microsoft but also Amazon & Google to stop selling owing to the fears of state surveillance and the potential threat to immigrants, etc. To this, Brad Smith, President of Microsoft told that such a move in itself is cruel to deprive state agencies the ability to monitor public's every move.
