Madison Square Garden elaboró un dossier sobre críticos del reconocimiento facial

Un documento filtrado muestra que Madison Square Garden Entertainment realizó un seguimiento de los datos personales de tres destacados activistas por la privacidad que se opusieron a su uso de la tecnología de reconocimiento facial. El archivo formaba parte de una brecha de datos mayor que expuso millones de registros de clientes a principios de este mes.

El dossier, titulado "Facial Recognition Activists.docx", incluía información sobre Adam Schwartz de la Electronic Frontier Foundation, Albert Fox Cahn del Surveillance Technology Oversight Project y Evan Greer de Fight for the Future. El archivo incluía sus trayectorias, datos de contacto, actividad en redes sociales y recuento de seguidores. Los hackers publicaron el archivo junto con 45 gigabytes de datos robados a la empresa a principios de junio. La brecha también expuso 26 millones de registros de clientes que contenían datos de contacto e información biométrica. Madison Square Garden Entertainment enfrenta ahora tres demandas colectivas por el incidente. Los activistas respondieron con críticas a las prácticas de la empresa. Schwartz señaló que la vigilancia biométrica es especialmente arriesgada porque los rostros no pueden cambiarse. Greer afirmó que las grandes empresas utilizan dicha tecnología para castigar a los críticos sin tener en cuenta los derechos. Las cámaras de reconocimiento facial han operado en los recintos de la empresa en Nueva York desde 2018. La firma utiliza los sistemas para identificar amenazas de seguridad, aunque el enfoque ha generado una oposición constante por parte de grupos de derechos civiles y funcionarios públicos.
