Taylor Swift held a concert at California's Rose Bowl this past May that was
monitored by a facial recognition system. The system's target? Hundreds of
Swift's stalkers.
Swift's facial recognition system was built into a kiosk that displayed
highlights of her rehearsals, which would secretly record onlookers' faces.
According to Rolling Stone, which spoke with a concert security expert who
observed the kiosk, attendees who looked at the kiosk were immediately scanned.
Afterward, the data was sent to a `command post' in Nashville, Tennessee that
attempted to match hundreds of images to a database of her known stalkers.
