Amazon is facing a new class-action lawsuit alleging that the company failed to disclose its use of facial recognition technology to customers of Amazon Go convenience stores in New York City.

CNBC reports that a class-action lawsuit against Amazon claims that the company failed to disclose to its customers in New York City that they were being watched by facial recognition technology in its Amazon Go convenience stores.
