MSG owner James Dolan insists that the facial recognition system deployed at his venues is an essential security measure. So why was it disabled during one of the year's most high-profile events: the pre-wedding celebration of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce? www.wired.com/story/for-ta...

As WIRED has previously reported, Dolan’s company’s facial recognition systems have been used to bar critics of Dolan from entering MSG venues—and to track his perceived personal threats once they’re inside MSG. 🔗 www.wired.com/story/for-ta...

James Dolan insists the surveillance is essential in helping prevent terrorist attacks. The Swift/Kelce wedding celebrations were among the highest-profile events held at MSG this year, taking place during what the NYPD described as a "heightened threat environment." www.wired.com/story/for-ta...

According to the internal document, an MSG executive ordered on July 2 a seven-hour lockdown of the Garden’s video management system “due to a client privacy request.” www.wired.com/story/for-ta...

While the shutdown order reviewed by WIRED only applied to July 2, two sources familiar with MSG’s operations say that they were told the lockout was repeated on July 3, Swift and Kelce’s wedding night. www.wired.com/story/for-ta...
