The bit about a lawyer being stopped from entering a music hall in the US because its facial recognition system picked up that she's part of a law company that's suing them is even crazier than I thought.
The law company isn't suing the music hall - it's suing a restaurant, in another state, which is owned by the hall's parent company MSG Entertainment. MSG gone ahead and harvested photos of all the lawyers in the firm and fed it to an image recognition system to ban them from every MSG Entertainment owned location.
People always tell me that if you've got nothing to hide then you've got nothing to fear. She's got nothing to hide and they still went after her.
If this doesn't start making people worried about facial recognition then there's serious trouble coming.
