New York City Lawmakers Push to ‘Ban the Scan’ at MSG

New York City lawmakers, musicians, and privacy advocates held a press conference outside Madison Square Garden to call for stricter limits on biometric surveillance deployment at public venues. The effort, described as 'Ban the Scan,' seeks to restrict how venues collect and use facial recognition and other biometric data.

Why it matters: Venue operators and security teams should monitor this advocacy movement, as passage of such restrictions could limit biometric authentication and identification tools at entertainment and public gathering spaces.
