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

"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."

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.

@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
I feel like I want @hacks4pancakes to know about this.
Though they probably already do. -
@KraftTea Jake was banned in 2017.

@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.
