Kelly Conlon and her daughter came to New York City the weekend after Thanksgiving as part of a Girl Scout field trip to Radio City Music Hall to see the Christmas Spectacular show. But while her daughter, other members of the Girl Scout troop and their mothers got to go enjoy the show, Conlon wasn't allowed to do so.

Facial recognition software is so Orwellian.

The whole "anyone associated with any law firm involved in any litigation against any company in our corporate umbrella is banned" policy the face recognition was enforcing is also bullshit and I'd be astonished if it's legal.

It's just nonsense language intended to preempt objection. "What, you don't want us to keep people safe?"

"Safe" has become a scary word. It can get used to justify just about anything, immediately demonising anyone who objects to it by trying to paint them as someone who doesn't care if people get hurt.Frustration wrote: ↑Fri Dec 23, 2022 12:13 am It's just nonsense language intended to preempt objection.
