THORN:
Thorn was an NGO founded in 2012 by actors Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore. Thorn was a partner with two tech companies: Amazon and Digital Reasoning
Thorn’s big product was called “Spotlight.” Spotlight is an AI-powered surveillance tool. If you go to their website they say “Spotlight helps find kids faster.” Isn’t this code for: Facial Recognition technology?

In 2019 there were calls for dramatic reforms within the police departments across the Nation… particularly regarding their use of facial recognition technology.
As referenced in this article below, “Police were facing calls to halt the use of facial recognition software to search for suspected criminals in public after independent analysis found matches were only correct in a fifth of cases and the system was likely to break human rights laws.”

Meanwhile during this time, several tech companies tried to salvage their image by saying they wouldn't sell facial recognition software to police departments anymore.
Amazon also placed a one-year pause on the sale of its facial recognition software (called “Rekognition”) to police departments in June 2020.
So there was a moratorium regarding the sale of facial recognition technology to police departments.
Did Amazon do a work around on the moratorium by partnering with Ashton Kutcher and the NGO: THORN?
Remember…Thorn claims their product, “Spotlight helps find kids faster.”

The strange thing is that Thorn decided to give away their surveillance tool, Spotlight, to over 2,000 police departments across the United States under the guise that they were helping Police “combat child trafficking.”
So the tech companies said they weren’t going to sell their Facial Recognition Software to police departments anymore. Amazon said it paused the sale of their facial recognition software-Rekognition-to police departments.
It appears that Jeff Bezos and Ashton Kutcher were in cahoots together, providing a service that wasn’t supposed to be offered anymore to the police departments. Free or not. Why?!!?
Don’t you find this peculiar? What were they really up to?
I found some intel that might explain the reasons. We will discuss this topic over the coming days.

Who else did THORN partner with? If you go to their website they openly admit that they partnered with such companies as: Amazon, Google, Twitter, Facebook, Microsoft, Intel, Dropbox and Adobe, as well as Goldman Sachs and Verizon. Plus many others.
They also partnered with the NGO--Polaris. Polaris operated our National Trafficking hotline.
Polaris’s connections to what I would consider nefarious activity is massive!!
This rabbit hole goes deep…deep…deep!!
We will expand on this presentation tomorrow or Saturday. Then we will start connecting dots…and shedding light on the peculiar activity that is going on in Florida.
