Apparently Madison Square Garden was using face scanning tech to remove lawyers linked to firms/cases that are against MSG and removing them.

ah yes making things hard for law magic users this will surely go well.
It may have been at the behest of the owner James Dolan, famous for forcing people to listen to his vanity band JD and the Straight Shot when actual musicians come play at MSG. MSG employees are also expected to attend their shows in NYC clubs.

It's turbopetty gilded age billionaire poo poo. If you worked at a law firm that sued him, even if you weren't directly involved, your name was added to a list, they'd get a picture of you, and then set up their system to recognize you and kick you out if you went to Madison Square Garden for something.

Absolutely. And most major companies already have systems in place to deal with those implications. It needs to be adopted as-is wholesale as a start.

After having to deal with privacy related issues, I’d bet that after sufficiently many states have adopted their own privacy legislations - all of them of course slightly different in various ways - tech companies will be begging for Congress to step in.

Smart ones probably have already started lobbying efforts.

Are states doing things? I know CA has pass their own thing, and NY has had whispers of doing something, but I dougbt it will ever get to the point companies ask the Fed to do something positive.

When California starts doing things it can affect the whole nation because it's an enormous market. However, legislation routinely gets watered down to meaninglessness even in liberal strongholds.

Virginia VCPDA went into effect Jan 1st, Colorado one sometime mid 2023 and Utah one at the end of 2023. California CCPA is in many ways comparable to GDPR, though actual enforcement is an another issue.

There is some comprehensive privacy legislation with the proposed American Data Privacy and Protection Act.
Connecticut and Utah have also passed state-level legislation just like California, Colorado and Virginia.

There was a first enforcement action with beauty retailer Sephora that resulted in a $1.2m settlement in August. CPPA is expected to publish final rules in late January.

Verge has a long rear end piece on Musk's rampage inside Twitter. https://www.theverge.com/23551060/elon-musk-twitter-takeover-layoffs-workplace-salute-emoji

quote:

Rumors were swirling that Musk planned to cut 75 percent of the company. People were audibly sobbing in the bathrooms.

quote:

On October 26, an engineer and mother of two — let’s call her Alicia — sat in a glass conference room in San Francisco trying to explain the details of Twitter’s tech stack to Elon Musk. He was supposed to officially buy the company in two days, and Alicia and a small group of trusted colleagues were tasked with outlining how its core infrastructure worked. But Musk, who was sitting two seats away from Alicia with his elbows propped on the table, looked sleepy. When he did talk, it was to ask questions about cost. How much does Twitter spend on data centers? Why was everything so expensive?

Alicia was already tired of Musk’s antics. For months, he had gone back and forth about buying the company where she had worked for more than a decade. He’d tried to back out of the deal, but Twitter sued, and the chief judge of Delaware’s Chancery Court said a trial would move forward if the acquisition wasn’t complete by October 28. Facing what many legal observers called an easy case for Twitter, Musk caved. So here they were, trying to show Musk what he was about to buy, and all he wanted to talk about was money. 

Fine, she thought. If Musk wants to know about money, I’ll tell him. She launched into a technical explanation of the ­company’s data-center efficiency, curious to see if he would follow along. Instead, he interrupted. “I was writing C programs in the ’90s,” he said dismissively. “I understand how ­computers work.”

Illinois's law covering biometric data covers facial recognition. It's not full on privacy regulation but it addresses the Madison Square Garden issue if it were to happen in Illinois.

In that linked article it said that everyone received notice that the new boss wants them all to print out 50 pages of their latest code contributions or whatever. The few working printers they had (nobody was printing poo poo during the pandemic as they were working from home) got overwhelmed and then later they got another email telling them to stop printing poo poo and to dispose all printed code into secure trash bins.

It was with git archive/format-patch, and the process of needing to do it was confusing.
