James Dolan, owner of the New York Knicks and New York Rangers, has come under fire for MSG Entertainment’s use of facial recognition technology at Madison Square Garden and Radio City Music Hall. A New York City Council hearing was held Friday to was held to discuss companies that have used facial recognition technology. The much-scrutinized Knicks and Rangers owner passed up the chance to testify at the hearing in the Council’s Consumer and Worker Protection Committee. “It’s a shame that someone is not here.”Since 2021, companies in New York City have been required by law to let customers know that they are using facial recognition. Some Knicks fans dispute this claim, asserting that they have been kept out of MSG because they criticized Dolan on social media.
