The text of the article says it's the first time "a free Syria hosted an independent tech conference", implying that any tech conferences under the Assads didn't count.
But yeah, it's a clickbait headline.
- SSJPython 2y ago> implying that any tech conferences under the Assads didn't count. Why shouldn't it count exactly?
