he was unaware Mix could share patron data with neighboring businesses but did not see a problem with it. “I think it’s cute that they share it amongst other bars,” he wrote. “It’s like a little cybersecurity community.”

So, you have one bad interaction with some jerk, and then you get a life ban that propagates through the whole city?

Seems rather shit. We might as well roll out a social credit scoring system. I bet you don't even get three strikes.

I would likely avoid any venue with a system like this anyway, so it won't matter if I'm banned or not.

For a different perspective over in the UK the vast majority of pubs were (are?) members of “Pub Watch.” Every so often the Police would turn up with a photo list for the premises of banned people in your area. It’s worth noting that everyone on the list had been criminally convicted of alcohol related violence and were subject to banning orders.
