I&amp;#x27;m not sure if people appreciate how much COPPA cleaned up in child privacy. However, it&amp;#x27;s definitely hurt the bottom lines of small businesses that liked playing fast and loose with data.&lt;p&gt;The sudden commodification of facial recognition means most of the companies racing to fill business needs are startups. Large corporations like Microsoft are much better positioned to deal with industry regulation. This may be a self-interested, anti-competitive move on Microsoft&amp;#x27;s part, but I don&amp;#x27;t care as long as I benefit as a consumer, too.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Microsoft Urges Congress to Regulate Use of Facial Recognition</title><url>https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/13/technology/microsoft-facial-recognition.html</url></story>
