After 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
Madison Square Garden Uses Facial Recognition to Ban Its Owner’s Enemies

MSG Entertainment, the owner of the arena and Radio City Music Hall, has put lawyers who represent people suing it on an “exclusion list” to keep them out of concerts and sporting events.

@kashhill aside being extremely chilling, this means that they will take people’s money for ticket, then turn them away at the gate for being ‘known lawyers’, which is essentially theft.
Someone should sue them… oh I have an idea.
