According to KOMO4 News (July 14, 2018) Microsoft is calling on Congress to regulate the use of facial recognition technology to protect people's privacy and freedom of expression.
The American Civil Liberties Union and 40 other privacy advocates are demanding that Amazon take 'facial recognition software' off the table for law enforcement, saying it could be used to watch the public without their knowledge or consent. But, Microsoft urges congress to take responsibility, not tech companies.
Microsoft President Brad Smith published a blog post saying that "the only effective way to manage the use of technology by a government is for the government to proactively manage this use itself."

The problem isn't with the use of surveillance technology by law enforcement, but with the abuse of surveillance technology by law enforcement.
