Oh. my. god.

Madison Square Garden used facial recognition to identify and stop a mom from attending a Christmas show with her kid because she's an attorney at a firm who is engaged in litigation with them.

This is why it's not enough to just ban government and law enforcement use of #facialrecognition. There are so many ways private companies and even individuals can abuse #biometric #surveillance tech.

#BanFacialRecognition entirely. Yesterday.

@charlesroper @evangreer I hate that shit. Hate it. It completely ignores the fact that things change. "But my government isn't evil" ... now. It is not evil NOW. Things can change. Do you want to hand over that big bunch of data that confirms all the things you have done and that suddenly are illegal to this new government, too?
