I discovered this article after it was censored from the Reddit privacy community.
Thank goodness there are still some places where you are allowed to criticize the rich and powerful.
Fuck James Dolan and this flagrant misuse of social media scraping and facial recognition software for petty squabbles!
So this is what he’s up to after selling off Cablevision…
TIL Madison Square Garden isn’t like… A public park or garden 😳. In my defence, I’m British and only ever saw the Madison Cube Garden parody on Futurama, which iirc is actually a garden.
An unfortunately small number of venues which clearly would be in the public interest to be publicly-owned are actually publicly-owned. A huge percentage, in fact, are owned by the Ticketmaster vertically-integrated monopoly that forces entertainers to use their venues and scammy ticketing system (they enable scalpers so that they can get an extra cut) by threatening blacklisting of any who don’t play ball.
Yeah the garden part of the name is a little misleading, but even in Futurama the cube is the actual location. And in both modern day/Futurama the square/cube is a venue/arena (which is why they play basketball there in Futurama).
Surveillance Capitalism
what the hell… are they afraid of crowdsourced luigism? are they full magat now?

I’ve got a few posts you might find interesting, trying to establish evidence of a broader pattern before presenting it
r/privacy moderator censors criticism of CEO James Dolan
r/privacy moderators blacklist German tech news site Heise, censor posts critical of DHS
On Reddit’s r/privacy, you can no longer criticize Facebook (you already saw this one)
