Verified. The Cascade PBS article dated January 3, 2020 contains the exact wording, rendered as: “New technology should not be banned or condemned because of its potential misuse,” followed by “Punke wrote.” The original, more authoritative source is Michael Punke’s AWS blog post “Some Thoughts on Facial Recognition Legislation” (February 7, 2019), which contains the sentence verbatim, ending with a period, and is signed by Michael Punke. So the quote is authentic and correctly attributed; the 2020 date matches the cited article, while the underlying Punke statement itself was published in 2019.
