MSG defends using facial recognition to kick lawyer out of Rockettes show

TL;DR

Instead, she is guilty by association, as an associate for Davis, Saperstein and Solomon, which has spent years tangled up in litigation against a restaurant that NBC reported is “now under the umbrella of MSG Entertainment.”According to Conlon, she became aware of this supposed conflict of interest when security guards approached her in the Radio City Music Hall lobby just as she passed through the metal detector.Over the speakers, Conlon heard a warning about a woman in a gray scarf, then security confirmed the warning was about her, telling her, “Our recognition picked you up.”Despite Conlon assuring security that “I’m not an attorney that works on any cases against MSG," she was escorted out.Ars could not immediately reach MSG for comment, but in a statement, MSG said the same thing would’ve happened to any attorney involved in her firm, claiming that her firm had been “notified twice” of MSG’s policy.“While we understand this policy is disappointing to some, we cannot ignore the fact that litigation creates an inherently adverse environment.”A New York Times report suggests that MSG began using facial recognition technology in 2018 to “bolster security."NBC reported that others who have been blacklisted have sued MSG over the policy, viewing it as MSG’s way of punishing law firms that go after the titan of entertainment."
