It's nice to see that when DEFCON says "Don't support rapists" they really mean it.

@mancube I see you have never been to DEFCON.

@evacide I'm glad to be wrong not trying to diminish a win, tech can just be kinda exhausting with what does and doesn't pass muster for bad behavior

@evacide I have always been impressed by how expert Defcon is at keeping attendees safe and healthy. They obviously can't stop everything, but they constantly evaluate and change to get better. I'm glad they did this.

@evacide It's also incredibly depressing that conferences are enforcing more meaningful penalties against Epstein creeps than the DOJ.

@klausfiend @evacide

The DOJ has been captured by creepy weirdos.

Consequences and social ostracization by non-governmental entities have to be the norm until…whatever form the federal government takes next.

@evacide Why would three those subhuman garbage piles bother going to DEFCON when they've already partaken in the shadowy horrors of PEDOCON?

@dave @evacide nothing says "I didn't do anything wrong" like having to hire a spokesperson to run pr for you.

@evacide

When the justice system is as perverted as the billionaires and politicians who are the #EpsteinClass, it is up to the people to serve their own form of justice.

It is good to see the line has been drawn.

@evacide Cool.
Now do Jacob Appelbaum.

@SamantazFox @meph @evacide TBH I don't think Space Hitler would want to go to Def Con. He'd be trolled all the way out of the venue.

@evacide Oh, dang; I didn't know about Eric Michaud

@evacide
I feel like I want @hacks4pancakes to know about this.
Though they probably already do.

@KraftTea Jake was banned in 2017.

@evacide (Can't heart enough.)

@rgegriff Boy did he deserve it.

@evacide '''Iozzo previously told TechCrunch that his interactions with Epstein were “limited to business opportunities that never materialized, as well as discussion of the markets and emerging technologies,” and that he “never observed nor participated in any illegal activity or behavior.”'''

So just communicating with a convicted rapist is enough to get banned?

@meph @evacide The various late night TV hosts are in the Epstein files, but only because their names were mentioned in emails to or from Epstein, as in "did you see Colbert last night?". So no, you can't just ban anyone whose name appears. But anyone shown doing business with or schmoozing Epstein after his conviction should be shunned.

@evacide fuck yeah!

@dynom @evacide downplaying what Jeffrey Epstein was to "convicted rapist" is like calling Facebook a "website where people talk". Don't be a jerkoff.

@siv @evacide it's not about Epstein, it's about the people who interacted with him who are penalised.

The general rules are not about if you're a rapist or a "worse" rapist.

I'm all for banning assholes, but criminalising by association is a slippery slope?
