In December 2022, lawyers faced a surprising and unsettling situation at MSG venues during the holiday season, as the company invoked an 'attorney exclusion list.' Utilizing facial recognition technology, MSG tracked the entry of lawyers involved in lawsuits against them, leading to instances where lawyers were barred from attending events, including a Christmas show. This aggressive move sparked outrage and legal action, highlighting broader concerns regarding privacy and the use of facial recognition technology in various sectors, underscored by journalist Kashmir Hill's ongoing investigations into this growing trend.
