Reply to comment by TechNickL in ‘Power Run Amok’ Madison Square Garden Uses Face-Scanning Tech to Remove Perceived Adversaries. Over the past month, multiple attorneys whose firms have litigation against the venue have said MSG used facial-recognition tech to find them and kick them out of shows by Brandi Carlile and the Rockettes by evanFFTF

The people who were denied access were not involved in the lawsuit they just worked for the same company. It would be like being denied access to Wendy's because you worked at mcdonald's.

It's not different, your previous experience should have also been considered unacceptable.

What you're describing is already unacceptable. It's needlessly petty at best.

Besides, it's also different. This case is more like Pepsi refusing to sell to someone who once worked for an advertising firm that made a commercial for Coke. The person affected is not a Pepsi employee, nor have they done anything except their job. And that's still disregarding how weird/disturbing it is that MSG apparently has access to the facial recognition data to bar anyone working at specific companies and is allowed to use it at will.
