This should be illegal. Facial recognition software shouldn't exist.
i hate it but having cameras in your privately owned building is legal.
Facial recognition software =X= cameras. Cameras are fine; software recording and tracking faces and uploading that biometric data to god knows where is wayyyyy different.
Also, MSG is different from a “privately owned buildings” like a house. This is a venue that’s open to/for the public.
As OP said, this shit should be illegal.
In the context of facial recognition, "biometric data" is just a picture of your face. If you've ever uploaded a photo of yourself to any website/service, then you've already lost that fight.
