New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani criticized Madison Square Garden owner James Dolan’s use of surveillance technology, saying it reflects broader problems in the country.

Wired reported that Dolan’s company uses cameras and facial-recognition technology to track people at and beyond its venues, and maintains a database that labels some visitors—including celebrity performers—as “LGBTQIA” for unclear reasons.

The report cited a 2021 incident in which facial recognition barred a woman from Radio City after identifying her as an attorney at a firm suing Dolan’s company, even though she had no involvement in the litigation.

Dolan sued Wired over its reporting on the database and surveillance practices.

Mamdani backed two bills introduced by City Council member Shahana Hanif that would prohibit biometric data collection, including facial recognition, in public places across New York City.

New York City has required businesses to disclose biometric data collection from visitors since 2021; Madison Square Garden did not respond to TechCrunch’s request for comment.
