we all should start banning James Dolan from places too. he's hereby banned from my shitty apartment and all the parties i never bother to throw.

When you hear about this technology, you hope it can be used to find terrorists or wanted criminals or kidnapped children, then it ends up in some bullshit application like kicking a lady out of her daughter’s performance because lawyers that she doesn’t work with are involved in litigation with the stadium. Absurd

Fuck James Dolan for dragging us into this black mirror dystopia

I feel like this is just begging the lawyers that do get in to your venue to start doing stuff like measuring the height of your door knobs and grades of your ramps and digging into your employee relations etc etc. Don't forget Jimmy Dolan is the dolt who got on the stand during a trial and testified he fired someone for reporting sexual harassment. The only thing standing between the Dolans and an absolute waterfall of litigation is paying plaintiffs. But now you've just enraged everyone in the guild enough to go hunt down non-paying ones. Just...why? So some of counsel from Jersey who has nothing to do with anything can't take her niece and nephew to the Rockettes? It will never make sense to me.

What is outrageous to me is that MSG has received property tax breaks from the city for the last 40 years. The city should threaten to immediately repeal the tax break if Dolan keeps this up. Any private institution that receives a public subsidy should not be able to arbitrarily ban members of the public.

I see this starting an escalation of anti-facial recognition eyewear/masks versus ever improving facial/body recognition algorithms

Machine learning will allow humanity to push the envelope of what is possible.

That is entirely up to us as to what we do with it.

Progress is not the threat. The danger comes from our own greed and conceit. Humanity alone is the only thing causing the dystopia of the future.

Yup. Lawyers should not be allowed entertainment. No hot food either.

The Rockettes, because of their name, their history and the frequency with which they raise their legs, should not be a venue for lawyerly observation unless in the far back rows.

Any and all lawyers?

This is some r/latestagecapitalism shit

According to the story, the firm was notified twice about that policy.

I don’t understand why they didn’t complain right then, instead of waiting for an employee to (knowingly or unknowingly) try to go to a show and run against the unchallenged policy.

If this is ruled illegal so should every business that has banned customers unless there’s a court order backing it up.
