Following multiple months of pushback, one of the first major music vendors utilizing Amazon’s controversial palm-scanning ID technology is reversing course on the product. Red Rocks Amphitheater, the iconic live venue near Denver, Colorado, has confirmed via advocacy group Fight for the Future that it does not intend to use the Amazon One biometric security feature any longer.
“We haven't been in contact with Amazon in several months and this isn't a planned activation at Red Rocks," Brian Kitts, Denver Arts and Venues’ marketing and communications director, told Fight for the Future via email earlier today.
