纽约市长佐赫兰·马姆达尼批评了麦迪逊广场花园的老板,该场馆是该市最大的娱乐场所之一,马姆达尼认为该公司的监控技术不应被允许使用。
Mayor of New York City Zohran Mamdani has criticized the owner of Madison Square Garden, one of the city’s largest entertainment venues, arguing that the company’s surveillance technology should not be allowed.
马姆达尼周二在接受《连线》杂志采访时表示,监控技术“反映了当今我国存在的许多问题”。他补充说,市议员沙哈娜·哈尼夫提出了两项地方立法,旨在禁止在全市公共场所收集生物识别数据,例如使用面部识别技术。马姆达尼表示,该草案立法“是对这类问题的重要回应”。此番言论是在《连线》杂志连续报道麦迪逊广场花园老板詹姆斯·多兰依靠监控摄像头和面部扫描技术追踪其场馆内外人员之后发表的。
Mamdani told Wired in an interview on Tuesday that surveillance technologies are “indicative of much that is wrong in our country today.”He added that City Council member Shahana Hanif introduced two pieces of local legislation aimed at banning the collection of biometric data, such as using facial recognition, in public places across the city. Mamdani said that the draft legislation is “an important response to this kind of an issue.”The comments come after a stream of reporting from Wired detailing how Madison Square Garden’s owner James Dolan relies on surveillance cameras and face-scanning technology to track people across and outside of its venues.
据一篇报道披露,多兰的公司保存着一个数据库,其中除其他内容外,还将一些访客(包括名人表演者)标记为“LGBTQIA”,原因不明。多兰随后因该报道起诉了《连线》杂志。
In one report, Wired revealed that Dolan’s company keeps a database that, among other things, marks some visitors, including celebrity performers, as “LGBTQIA,” for reasons that are unclear. Dolan subsequently sued Wired over its reporting.
2021年,麦迪逊广场花园公司因一名女子被面部识别系统认出是起诉多兰公司的律师事务所律师(但该律师并未参与诉讼)而被禁止进入另一家多兰旗下场馆——无线电城音乐厅,登上新闻头条。
In 2021, MSG made headlines after a woman was banned from Radio City, another Dolan-owned venue, after being recognized by facial recognition systems as an attorney at a law firm who was suing Dolan’s company but was not involved in the litigation.


麦迪逊广场花园发言人米基尔·科尔多瓦在接受TechCrunch采访时表示:“‘连线’的报道不准确且虚假。麦迪逊广场花园正在寻求法律救济”,但未提供证据支持其主张。
When reached by TechCrunch, Madison Square Garden spokesperson Mikyl Cordova said: “Wired’s reporting is inaccurate and false. MSG is pursuing legal remedies,” without providing evidence for its claim.


自2021年以来,纽约市要求企业在收集访客生物识别数据时必须进行披露。
Since 2021, New York City has required businesses to disclose when they are collecting biometric data from visitors.
