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.

The billionaire artist that hangs out with other billionaires and takes her private jet for groceries isn't a great person? Omg.

She was on 4chan back in the day. I get the feeling she’s down with the wp.

Guess she didn't want a record of all the epsteinites there.

Tech executives like Peter Thiel and Sam Altman openly fantasize about a hyperprivatized future with elites nestled in bunkers on private islands, guarded by surveillance tech, robots and drones.

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

Its a nice thought but it wouldnt work, our land is protected by the gods. The nukes would need to fly through Ranginui's Sky and there is no way he would allow them to land and cause significant harm to Papatūānuku and her whanau.
