CCC censors comments criticising 32c3 talk
- ryanlol 11y agoDidn't use original video title as the point wasn't to link to the talk itself, but to the comments that were removed. The talk itself holds very little substance and is hardly worth linking by itself. (Anyone mind specifying what they downvoted this for?)
- sarciszewski 11y agoThe first two minutes of the talk consists of some people speaking for her ("she hates the word 'refugee'" <- Okay then, why can't she tell us that?). If you want to watch the talk, skip to 3:03. Some notes from the first minute of the talk: - She opens her hour keynote with she has nothing to say. Um, what? - She says, to a room full of hackers at a highly technical conference, that she knows nothing about IT outside the basic use of her laptop. This doesn't look promising. I'm all for hearing different perspectives and all, but I'm sure that among all of the "newcomers" there were people with a real interest in technology who could have filled this slot instead. I'll keep watching and post a follow-up comment if it gets any better, but this is my first impression. I can't say I'm surprised that the CCC team would censor comments on this video, but they can't censor HN.
- sarciszewski 11y agoNope, this was a waste of time. :(
- ryanlol 11y agoSomeone on IRC asked me to post proof, so here's an archive of a google cache result (best I could find, sorry) on the site from before the comments were deleted: http://185.10.231.85/ccc.html http://185.10.231.85/ccc.html It is however worth noting that this is only a small fraction of the comments that were deleted. When I commented on the page before the comments were shut down there was about 15 comments, most of them in English criticising the talk. (Anyone mind specifying what they downvoted this for?)
