Amazon sacked GMB whistleblower 'who said facial recognition software was being used in Ukraine war'
AMAZON sacked a GMB member after he alleged that it had sold facial recognition software that helped Russia in the Ukraine war, an employment tribunal heard today.
Charles Forrest, a former senior account manager at the British branch of Amazon Web Services, Emea Sarl, is suing more than a dozen individuals over unfair dismissal and disability discrimination.
He alleges that he was fired for blowing the whistle on the company’s alleged sale of its Rekognition facial recognition software to VisionLabs, a company owned by Russian telecommunications business MTS.
