    From the NYT version

    “This is punitive as opposed to protective. It sets a precedent for other businesses to identify their critics and punish them,” Mr. Schwartz said. “It raises the question of what’s going to come next. Will companies use facial recognition to keep out all the people who have picketed the business or criticized them online with a negative Yelp review?”

    Obviously yes. The property manager for my apartment made me sign a lease that said I wouldn't leave them bad reviews online. This is illegal, sure, and I'm told that clause is not actionable, but they'd be salivating for something like this.

    Coming up next: regional blackouts specific to your line of sight.
