Kashmir HillAfter the report about the Girl Scout mom getting booted from Radio City Music Hall, I spent the last two days reporting out the use of facial recognition technology by the Madison Square Garden empire to keep hundreds of lawyers that work for firms that have sued it from attending concerts, sporting events and shows. It is a radical use of the technology by a private company and I am truly shocked by how forthright MSG is about its real-world block list. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/22/nyregion/madison-square-garden-facial-recognition.html
Steven Bodzin@kashhill Thanks for writing this! As I wrote earlier https://thepit.social/@stevenbodzin/109561056930325358 : I think we owe MSG a thank you. Because walking around NYC, with its omnipresent security cameras, both public and private, I'm sure there are forces that track individuals. But they hide their use of facial recognition, instead finding pretexts in order to stop suspects. MSG was honest, revealing something that is probably happening all the time.
