Amazon.com Inc., Microsoft Inc. and other big tech companies are on the defensive over the sale of facial-recognition software to police departments.

“The Simpsons” will no longer have white actors voicing the roles of non-white characters on the long-running Fox-TV series, part of a push by animated shows to be more sensitive to matters of race and avoid stereotypes.
