State Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal, D-N.Y., called on professional sports leagues to reprimand Madison Square Garden owner James Dolan over the arena's use of facial recognition on patrons, MediaPost reports. Hoylman-Sigal sent letters to the National Basketball Association and the National Hockey League to bring attention to the "concerning trend" of facial recognition at sporting venues and asked for sanctions against Dolan if MSG does not "immediately cease profiling fans with facial recognition technology for non-security purposes."
