Read our story from July 9 about how an MSG database tracked and categorized hundreds of celebs, famous Knicks superfans, and even some of Taylor Swift’s wedding guests. Labels included “LGBTQIA,” “DO NOT HOST,” and low to high “risk.”

In April, we published our first story about the surveillance machine at Madison Square Garden—an operation that allegedly tracked a trans woman, lawyers, protesters, and more. Read that here:

@wired.com is amazing. A former tech journal doing what abc, nbc, CBS, cnn ... Are too scared to do. Thanks for the real truthful, journalism!
In fact, if I didn't know any better (read: "If I hadn't seen the signs myself at MSG warning me that Big Jim was watching!) I'd wonder if maybe Dolan was being treated unfairly by @wired.com Additional rant: the sight of the championship Knicks tongue-bathing Dolan after the big win made me 🤮
@pablo.show did a great episode on tnis as well for people that want supplemental info. Between this and AI glasses it really feels like freedom to live or attend sporting events are being taken away. Also kinda sucks that Taylor’s wedding was there to give a tacit approval for this.
If only you considered journalistic integrity important on your other articles, too. virology.ws/2026/06/09/t...
Dear @wired.com : Obviously I'm not the Lone Ranger complaining about this but if you're gonna do a media blitz, pitting your publication vs. that rat bastard possibly you shouldn't turn your evidence into a cheap pitch for paid subscribers? You want to make a point? Don't put it behind a paywall.
Call John Oliver. His attorneys are batting a thousand on this kind of thing. @lastweektonight.com
www.rcfp.org/anti-slapp-g... NYS has a fairly robust anti-SLAPP law that should go far to protecting Wired’s 1st Amendment rights.
I hope all the progressives who bought Knicks merch and who buy Knicks tickets will help fund WIRED's legal expenses. Or maybe if Hitler owned a basketball team they would support that team. Dolan and Trump are scum. 2017: www.haaretz.com/us-news/2017...
People who bought Knicks merch and who will buy Knicks merch are funding this attack on the free press. Dolan loves Trump. Trump hates the free press. NBA Commissioner was happy that Trump was at Madison Square Garden. 2018: youtu.be/aovYhuOodyw?...
So called progressives who bought Knicks merch are funding this bullshit lawsuit against Wired. Taylor Swift just had her wedding at Dolan's venue. wnyc.org/story/when-n...
I wonder if @taylorswift.com.br would have gotten married there if she knew what a dick the owner is.🤔
