Reports that Madison Square Garden temporarily shut off its facial recognition system for Swift’s wedding expose a glaring problem with how the elite wield and control mass surveillance.

    Not privacy related, but … another double standard is that she is against guns yet her security team was armed at her wedding.

      Idk I think this is similar to being against exploitative capitalism but also shopping at Walmart because you need to be able to eat.

          We don’t because we aren’t millionaire musicians.

          You ever seen the stalker that targeted Bjork or some of the unhinged superfan people in South Korea who stalk down KPOP members?

          There’s some weird people out there man. I think if you are that famous then yes you kind of do need armed guards like that.

          Especially with some of the frothing at the mouth MAGA folks out there who some of them think she’s like a plant or deep state propagandist or some other weird shit I only saw it in passing on some Facebook posts by those people.

            What about non-millionaire/billionaire people with stalkers? People have violent Ex’s, violent coworkers - and rarely, but still happens - violent strangers.

            Poor people have lives that are threatened. Domestic abuse/murder is all too common all across the world.

            So why is she more valuable?
