Madison Square Garden’s surveillance system banned this fan over his T-shirt design. And he didn’t even wear it to the venue. (www.theverge.com)

But the t-shirt wasn't really the problem. Getting banned from the stadium wasn't the problem - I don't really care if one venue is banning people for whatever stupid and petty reason

They're trawling through massive data sets they shouldn't have and using facial recognition to pick people out through social media posts, job affiliation, and who knows what else.

They didn't make the system, they're clearly just users. That's the problem here
