I discovered this article after it was censored from the Reddit privacy community.

Thank goodness there are still some places where you are allowed to criticize the rich and powerful.

Is this a new story or the one from a year or so back?

Using internet under your name is high risk behaviour unless you are a regime whore on twatter

Article is from March 28, 2025, so I think it’s a new one, although the banned list is apparently pretty extensive. Here’s what seems to have been the problem:

Instead, it seems it was something he made that got him banned. Miller does graphic design, and after former Knicks staple Charles Oakley was forcibly removed from MSG in 2017—allegedly at the behest of Dolan, of whom Oakley had been publicly critical—Miller made a t-shirt that read “Ban Dolan” in the style of the Knicks logo. A friend of Miller’s wore that shirt to MSG in 2021 and very publicly got kicked out and banned from the venue for it.

EDIT: fixed typo

Fuck Dolan, and fuck whoever is trying to suck his cock so hard that they're actually stopping and removing people wearing a shirt criticizing him. Like, how much of a simp do you have to be to act in the interest of a boss? If you're a security dude, just shrug and say you missed what the shirt said.

Article says the New York AG started investigating because the blocklist is so large, including “thousands” of lawyers from more than 90 law firms who have been involved in legal disputes with him or his businesses in the past.

I’m surprised he hasn’t banned his own players!
