Amazon wants to scan the ridges and vein patterns of your hand so you can shop with a "palm signature." Not weird at all! https://t.co/4NYLkoCNok

Stop normalising biometric data collection into the hands of tech giants.

So what do we do once every company has a Company + or a Company One product? https://t.co/nTn1lsRKTf

Pretty wild how Amazon is the only company to really lean into 2020.

Surveillance drones at home, monitoring the tone of your speech, and now scanning your palm print... https://t.co/vcMsJjKt8E
Interesting to see Amazon steer clear of face scanning. it’s clearly banking on palm scanning being non-creepy for people https://t.co/gXYz06rWTh

The Amazon One payment technologies are a master stroke for @amazonpay. Via a number of biometric payment methods Amazon is rapidly becoming the AWS of payments for not only retail but online.

Many experts thought AWS was insane as Amazon One may appear today. https://t.co/5qfXoZR7mm
Amazon says it has “no plans to use transaction information from third party locations for Amazon advertising or other purposes.” Hahaha. That’s as funny as what what Lindsey Graham once said about Supreme Court nominees in an election year. https://t.co/eYOKlbpqKJ

Now - Amazon One https://t.co/tgOrODQjEp
Interesting to consider if amazon ever would have gone in this direction if it had created a phone that people actually wanted to use https://t.co/XueEpFyMb6

the greatest trick tech companies are pulling with payment methods like this and apple pay etc is that using cash or a credit/debit card is complicated and this is easier somehow https://t.co/Z8Xdi4wCMo

This is so gross. What is happening to our society? Who are all these PMs, software engineers, etc who contributed to this? Where is their sense of ethics, security, and community?

Just because we -can- build it doesn’t mean we -should- build it.
Think about the misuse. https://t.co/dtg2Wv4fEe
Amazon's going full "what even is privacy" dystopia on us with palm-reading payments and ID, hot on the heels of flying home drones and mood-detecting wristbands.https://t.co/XtQPawfHrt pic.twitter.com/eqkPJ9tu4C

Beginning to wonder if Amazon is ever going to announce anything that is *not* about surveillance.https://t.co/byA9wDZVtb

Amazon’s hand-scanning payment tech is here.
— Jason Del Rey (@DelRey) September 29, 2020
Launching first in Amazon stores, Amazon believes other retailers, including competitors, will use it, too.
The big picture: Amazon wants a cut of physical retail happening outside its walls, just like online https://t.co/EdDpX8yqO0
I have my own personal phone set up for fingerprint recognition, but what creeps me out about biometric identification and payment more generally is that if it gets "hacked," I feel like I would have very little recourse. I can't change my fingerprint like I can my password. https://t.co/c6p4FNeMwT
— Adam Kotsko (@adamkotsko) September 29, 2020
But why .. I mean seriously, anybody doing this kind of thing has their phone already, why not just stick with Apple Pay or whatever https://t.co/JZqwO6jZw9

It basically means ”we’ll upload your palm print to AWS” https://t.co/i3cvYdKUUw pic.twitter.com/30YlkKRJxM

Figuring out the threat and surveillance models of this will be quite a thing. Amazon wants to license it, not just use it. https://t.co/n1NTrUnUMr

Amazon One turns your hand into a credit card. Amazon is hoping this new palm recognition tech will be used in stores, stadiums, and office buildings to let people use their palm to pay / scan. Details here: https://t.co/QLlRSPnn4g
