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

@evacide

Links to #Epstein are proving to be toxic.

Release ALL of the #EpsteinFiles
#Unredacted Now.

"Joan Vollero, a spokesperson for Iozzo, told TechCrunch in a statement that Def Con’s actions are 'entirely performative, given that Mr. Iozzo has barely attended the conference in the past twenty years.'

'It was a rush to judgment not based on any investigation or wrongdoing by Mr. Iozzo,' the spokesperson said."

File under "Streisand Effect".

@evacide

@evacide they should ban everyone else mentioned in those files too.

@evacide i mean, in this case

@meph @evacide That has to be done carefully. The files contains a lot of everything, including victims names and totally unrelated people (for instance, there are multiple open source software license files, as well as user manuals. the people cited in those are extremely unlikely to be related to epstein).

@SamantazFox @evacide well clearly, but to clarify, I was referring to the abusers and facilitators, such as Elon Musk, who was at Defcon at least in 2018

@meph @evacide *nods* Yeah, those should definitely be on a forbidden list!

@evacide all symposium timeslots formerly held by banned applicants will now be given to rms for a lecture and q&a topic tbd

@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.
