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.

Rubbish. Facial recognition is useful for all sorts of things ... it's a core part of identifying who you say you are.

And all technology can be used in a negative way, including the platform you are on now. What you want to blame all technology for everything?

People, in this case MSG, need to take responsibility for how this bit of tech is being used.
