New York City lawmakers, joined by musicians and privacy advocates, are pushing to "ban the scan" at Madison Square Garden. At a press conference outside the venue, they called for tighter restrictions on the use of biometric surveillance—such as facial recognition—at public venues. The proposal aims to limit how venues like MSG deploy scanning technology, which critics argue violates privacy and has been used to ban certain individuals from events.
