A new Wired report confirms the shutdown was the result of a “client privacy request,” something unheard of in the venue’s history

    You might guess that “disabled” means MSG wasn’t recording any footage of the events in question. But this Pitchfork summary, and the WIRED article it links to, both use “disabled” in a more careful, more limited sense:

    Dolan’s MSG locked nearly all of its security team out of the network of surveillance cameras inside the arena

    MSG locked their own people out of the nasty real-time biometric / face-recognition / “papers please” panopticon revenge system they’ve built. They didn’t turn that system off. They didn’t lock everyone out. They’re calling that “disabled.” I don’t see any specific claim, in either article, that any cameras were turned off for even a moment.

    I don’t mean this as any sort of defense of the very rich, or their habit of buying themselves special privileges. I think it’s a sign of how pervasive and normalized surveillance is becoming.

      Noticed that myself as well. Very well could still be a recording of it and still could be trained on

    I wonder if Mamdani has the power/will to regulate that kind of surveillance out of existance within NYC.

      That would likely need to be legislation passed by the city council then signed by the mayor.

      It’s a reference to how they were sponsored by AT&T.

      Maybe, IDK.

    So anyone hosting an event can request this as well? Time to ask why others haven’t asked before.
