Employees question Amazon's climate policy

Within Amazon, there is increasingly more resistance to some of the company’s projects and investments, which include contracts with major oil and gas companies, the development of face recognition software for police forces and bidding for a major US defense contract. A number of employees reportedly have more and more ethical objections to such projects, Vox writes.
