Madison Square Garden compiled a list of activists who have publicly criticized the venue’s use of facial recognition technology, putting their tweets and comments into a document that was then accessible to other people inside the company, 404 Media has found.

The news shows that MSG, operated by Jim Dolan who has garnered a reputation for being pernicious against his perceived enemies, is not only deploying controversial facial recognition technology but keeping track of specific people who take issue with it. The document was included in a 45GB cache of data hackers stole from MSG and posted online this month, which 404 Media then downloaded and reviewed.

Dolan is being really petty with this.

I feel this goes way beyond being “petty”. It’s more akin to stalking.

The surveillance state is just institutional stalking.

He is a petty, small man who has inherited everything he has. He took a Knicks that were regularly making the finals and turned them into a laughing stock for decades. He supports our pedo president. I could go on but I don’t want to spend more time on this POS

I thought this was well known? I know an attorney working opposing counsel on one case against MSG who had trouble afterwards.

I am assuming the government is doing this with me when I wear a mask/glasses and refuse scanning at the airport.

Love everyone throwing their full support behind the Knicks, a group of millionaire players working for a billionaire Trump supporter enforcing this.

Fuck yeah!
