Oh. my. god. Madison Square Garden used facial recognition to identify and stop a mom from attending a Christmas show with her kid because she's an attorney at a firm who is engaged in litigation with them. This is why it's not enough to just ban government and law enforcement use of #facialrecognition. There are so many ways private companies and even individuals can abuse #biometric #surveillance tech. #BanFacialRecognition entirely. Yesterday. 10 comments
@evangreer This is how the Boston Marathon Race bombers were caught. Public cameras. I have no problem with facial recognition and public cameras. Try walking in London without being on a dozen cameras. The use that the Madison Square Garden used it for is despicable and they should pay a penalty. Not attending anything in MSG I can easily do. (I live in Boston) @bbennettesq @evangreer Also boycotting Boston Calling Events, LLC (BCE) and I hate the Knicks. Seriously? Aside from the very real and serious privacy concerns, I mean, how downright petty is this? @evangreer @team when I say, "screw Jim Dolan," I do so with the certainty that many thousands of people agree. @evangreer @team @evangreer @team |

Here's @team statement on this:
We call for #MadisonSquareGarden to immediately end all use of #facialrecognition and #biometric #surveillance tech.
And we call on lawmakers to enact a ban on all use of facial recognition in places of public accommodation, as defined by the ADA.
