Amazon debuted a public website on Thursday outlining the e-commerce giant's views on a range of hot-button political and social issues, adding momentum to a top executive's critique of the Trump administration this week.
The positions page lays out Amazon's corporate stance on topics such as climate change, immigration and tax policy, in some cases reiterating opposition to Trump on high-profile policy disputes such as the travel ban targeting primarily Muslim-majority countries.
But it also touches on more sensitive subjects, including Amazon's facial recognition technology and its work with law enforcement, of which the company has been the recipient of sharp criticism.
    "Harnessing the capabilities of advanced technology such as the cloud and machine learning are important to the ongoing safety and security of the country, its citizens, our communities, and the world," the page insists. "We will continue to provide U.S. government and law enforcement agencies access to the most advanced technology."
    The new website rolled out after Jay Carney, Amazon's senior vice president of global corporate affairs, publicly slammed the Trump administration on Wednesday. At a Seattle conference, Carney, who served as President Barack Obama's press secretary, called the current White House's patriotism into question and said Trump has violated longstanding norms — such as commenting on the work of the Federal Reserve.
