Facial Recognition, Masks and Psychological Emboldenment

The hosts discuss the decision by Amazon and Microsoft to pause the sale of facial recognition software to police. They argue this is "virtue signaling" because the software is currently useless due to widespread mask-wearing. The segment explores the psychological effect of masks, comparing the behavior of rioters to the anonymity of Halloween.
