"This is exactly why we need an outright ban on all use of facial recognition surveillance in places of public accommodation like bars, restaurants, retail stores, and music and sports venues," said one digital rights campaigner.
Kelly Conlon was accompanying her daughter and her New Jersey Girl Scout troop on a post-Thanksgiving outing to Midtown Manhattan to see the"Christmas Spectacular" at Radio City Music Hall starring the iconic Rockettes. However, as soon Conlon entered the venue's lobby, security informed her that she'd been flagged by facial recognition and that she would have to leave.
"They knew my name before I told them. They knew the firm I was associated with before I told them. And they told me I was not allowed to be there," Conlon"I was just a mom taking my daughter to see a Christmas show," she added."I did wait outside... It was embarrassing. It was mortifying." "While we understand this policy is disappointing to some, we cannot ignore the fact that litigation creates an inherently adverse environment," the company added.that"this is exactly why we need an outright ban on all use of facial recognition surveillance in places of public accommodation like bars, restaurants, retail stores, and music and sports venues."
