Madison Square Garden (MSG) Entertainment, under owner James Dolan, has implemented a pervasive surveillance system primarily using facial recognition technology. This system is not just for security, as MSG claims, but is used to retaliate against perceived enemies, including lawyers from firms suing MSG, critical fans, and even a transgender woman. A lawsuit by a former security VP alleges he was ordered to dig into personal data of these individuals to find leverage. Despite legal challenges and criticism from privacy advocates and politicians, the practice continues, raising significant civil liberties concerns. The article frames this as an abuse of power by a billionaire, creating a ‘surveillance panopticon’ that threatens the privacy of anyone attending events at MSG venues and sets a dangerous precedent for other powerful figures.
