PTFO | Watching Fans, Monitoring Kids, Tracking Players: Knicks Surveillance in the Garden Revealed
If we knew half the shit these companies are collecting data on we would all throw our phones into the abyss and never go in public again. Ignorance is bliss, welcome to the age of Palantir
Yeah that new arena the Clippers have is supposed to be a data broakers wet dream. They’re monitoring everything.
If your venue requires me to download a specific app just to enter the building, I’m not going in.
What’s wild as a LOTR nerd, naming the company Palantir is basically hiding their malicious intent in plain site. Or they completely lack self awareness.
For those that don’t know, in LOTR the Palantir is a seeing stone that allows the elves (good people) to see distant places, communicate, and see historical events, etc. But these stones eventually become corrupted by the evil entities and become a weapon to control others.
That’s quite literally the trajectory of surveillance tech lol.
Most people’s reaction: oh that is bad
My reaction: oh thank god he didn’t find some hidden cash flow going towards Brunson.
That’s cuz Knicks r open about it — the pay cut, daddy Brunson’s tamperin. NBA even fined them
I’m sure he’ll get to the Brunson cap circumvention/nepo hiring some day
Hahahaha exactly
Someone from Dolan’s pretorian guard is monitoring this post. Welcome!
Good thing I’m in Canada so I can freely say James Dolan is a fascist-adjacent loser with a shitty band and his team winning the NBA Cup is the only accomplishment he’ll ever see in his miserable, worthless life from any of the teams he owns and does not deserve ownership of.
Sell the team, James.
Also fuck the rangers
Fuck him and his soulless excuse for a band.
For those too lazy to watch the video, MSG Security is creating intel dossiers on fans, using the threat of catching criminals or terrorists as a pretense to collect this information. This includes fans who cause problems but also just fans in general, including children.
Beyond that, they specifically do not incorporate information from the FBI or law enforcement to actually screen for criminals or terrorists because their security is too chicken shit to actually confront dangerous individuals.
They’re also collecting intel on protestors that happen to march by MSG in unrelated events.
Gonna wear my JD and the Straight Shot shirt for Game 1 so Dolan will see it and upgrade my seat
You just inspired a google search for JD and the straight shot merch, unfortunately i can’t find any shirts or hats!
About 10 or so years ago I was working an event at the Forum in LA. JD owns the building and had just renovated it. The venue’s interior walls around the hallways inside were wallpapered with images of all the icon’s who played there. The Mick Jaggar’s, Tina Turner’s, ect. Then right at the end, all super big on the wall is J.D. wailing on his Les Paul guitar
In the back of the venue in the load in docks, they have all the headlining bands names painted on the wall - only non-headlining act on the wall, JD and the Straight shot.
Guy bought a music venue so he could paint himself into the oeuvre of Music Legends. Its almost so bad its good.
“Deep state”
Normal corpo shit
Knicks fans have known about this for a while, especially those who live in NY and go to MSG. Dolan was questioned on it years ago on a radio interview.
Saw a thread on another sub about a lawyer that got banned from an arena using facial recognition. I asked if it was MSG because that sounds like something Dolan would do. They said yup, lol.
Thank goodness. Thought this was about Brunson.
I blame that mark jackson card with the menendez’s. You never know who is sitting front row.
