Orlando has stopped testing Amazon’s facial recognition program after rights groups raised concerns that the service could be used in ways that could violate civil liberties.

The Florida city ended a pilot program last week after its contract with Amazon.com to use its Rekognition service expired, news media reported on Monday.
