Comment on Madison Square Garden’s surveillance system banned this fan over his T-shirt design. And he didn’t even wear it to the venue.

  That’s still insane.

    Oh no, I mean to say it’s much worse than what the headline said

  That was explained clearly by the title?

  This is fucked up that they’re scanning everyone like so to apply their hate.

    They imply the t shirt was the problem, and that it caused him to be flagged by the security system

    I thought it was a t shirt with his face on it or something. But they went on social media, tracked him down, found a picture of his face, and banned him

      The T-Shirt was the problem, but seeing as the title says he wasn’t wearing the t-shirt we can infer the t-shirt was not what was flagged at the stadium.

        But the t-shirt wasn’t really the problem. Getting banned from the stadium wasn’t the problem - I don’t really care if one venue is banning people for whatever stupid and petty reason

        They’re trawling through massive data sets they shouldn’t have and using facial recognition to pick people out through social media posts, job affiliation, and who knows what else.

        They didn’t make the system, they’re clearly just users. That’s the problem here
