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.
Sorry, I forgot that we all need a team of armed guards in order to exist.
They didn’t have the best example. But you can’t really expect to guard against guns with knives and tasers. Sometimes you have to use what is available while fighting for change.
Even if you’re not a billionaire, there are plenty of consumer-grade non/less-lethal self-defense tools available, I’m sure her security could get the military-grade shit though. It would be a nice change of pace to see her actually fight for anything worthwhile, she’s so influential she could change the world overnight. All I’ve ever seen her fight for is more money.
Exploitative capitalism. A wordier way of saying capitalism.
I’d prefer not to have a car, but this country makes it really inconvenient to do it, so I have one. That’s not a double standard, that’s adapting to your reality. Maybe the sec team arrived to the conclusion that they wouldn’t be as effective without them in a society under the 2nd amendment.
It seems she was okay with the security team having guns, but in general, not for the common person. In my mind, adapting to reality (and the 2nd amendment) she should be okay with both groups having guns. I think we (you and I) hold the same position on this.
this really isn’t the gotcha people think it is
