    I have my doubts they turned off the face scanning at MSG just for her party. And I also wonder why she thought aligning herself with this venue was such a great idea.

      Because she read the article.

      Ironically, Swift herself has reportedly used facial recognition at her own concerts to identify stalkers. This “privacy for me, surveillance for thee” attitude feels like a perfect encapsulation of the future we’re already living in: one where wealthy elites can afford privacy, while the rest of us are forced to live in a corporate surveillance panopticon.

    Let them all congregate in their New Zealand bunkers and then nuke the shit out of them. New Zealands sacrifice would be appreciated.
