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

Will edit this as I learn of others, because editing a toot is something you can do here!
(And I will never not call this a toot.)
A tech company source used to make me turn off my phone before meetings because of concern that his employer would check to see if our phones were near each other. This was not a crazy concern it turns out! TikTok tried something like this to hunt down leakers: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/22/technology/byte-dance-tik-tok-internal-investigation.html
MatteoDo you feel there are not enough Mastodon apps out there?
Fret not, I have a brand new one for you!
You can now try a very early version of Woolly, my new Mastodon client for iOS.
Lots of things are missing and probably broken, but I'd like to start collecting feedback.
You can join Woolly TestFlight here:
