MSG Turned Off Its Facial Recognition Cameras for Taylor Swift's Rehearsal

Madison Square Garden temporarily disabled its extensive surveillance camera system for Taylor Swift, according to a report by Wired. The venue is known for its controversial facial recognition technology, which can track guests with precise, second-by-second monitoring. MSG's owners made a deliberate exception to their standard surveillance practices for the pop star's private rehearsal event. The move highlights the selective application of the arena's powerful monitoring infrastructure, which has previously drawn public scrutiny.
