Extremely dark stuff. A mom was taking her daughter to Madison Square Garden Radio City Music Hall and she wasn't allowed in because facial recognition identified that she worked for a law firm that's suing MSG's parent company. The mom isn't involved in the case. Tweet

The tweet made a mistake. It said Madison Square Garden but they went to Radio City Music Hall.

    i bet the uproar over this will create restrictions on using it against lawyers on a night out on the town... but not undocumented immigrants, suspected terrorists, and poor people.

    Lmao, reminds me of a part from Folding Ideas NFT vid where he talks about how all these shitty NFT groups could potentially draw up digital fiefdoms by making software that checks for unwanted NFTs in someones wallet.

    Excited to get to live in the age of enforced corporate loyalty.

    Stuff from the tweet thread.

    If you're going to the theater, don't forget Adam Harvey's CV Dazzle, hair and makeup that defeats facial recognition. cvdazzle.com

    MSG is owned by a billionaire...

    James L. Dolan

    In March 2021, Dolan had a fan removed from a Knicks game at Madison Square Garden for wearing a t-shirt reading, "Ban Dolan" in protest of Dolan's management of the organization and treatment of retired Knicks players.

    Dolan performs blues-inspired rock as the singer for JD & The Straight Shot. After a show in New York City in 2017, one reviewer wrote that Dolan "sings like he’s trying not to cough, and it’s possible he can’t play the guitar. Worse, his songs belie his status as a cosplaying bluesman; most of his lyrics simply summarize current events or books that he’s read as if he were presenting a 10th grade English class project."

    On August 1, 2018, his band released the song titled "I Should've Known" inspired by his own experiences perpetuating sexual harassment from the album The Great Divide. The album was set to be released in October 2018.
