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.
uploading that biometric data to god knows where
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.
According to that lawsuit and our sources, Dolan’s head of corporate security takes such an expansive view of his mission that his employees will functionally cosplay as cops—patrolling the neighborhood, snooping on protesters if they happen to be in the area. You don't have to enter a Dolan venue to be under his watch.
Sooooo basically ICE painted corporate? Fuck MSG security and every cunt that voluntarily works for them and tells themselves this is fine.
See, how is anyone supposed to want to go to a sports game or concert anymore? It's wasn't bad enough that the prices are so inflated, now they stalk you like big brother the second you approach the entrance to the building.
Yeah, I was tempted to make a video about this, but James Dolan is irrationally petty, even with people who don't matter like me. I don't need a billionaire having their assistant ruin my life.
This guy is a monster, he needs mental help...
EDIT:
The more I read the more I doubt the knicks won, he has dirt on everyone...
