It's nice these people are getting banned from things and fired and quitting but like these are crimes and they should also go to jail

    Defcon is my biggest regret about the whole "US going to shit" situation. I'm from Europe, and I was planning to eventually attend, but there's no way I'm going there until USA gets their shit together, which I suspect won't be during my lifetime at this point.

    They should move it to Europe, especially for this kind of event, I'd suspect that for a lot of attendees and speakers, who tend to be pretty anti-systemic, going into US safely at this point is not an option.

    Any recommendations? My only experience with defcon is through recordings of the talks from there, and they've always been phenomenal, and some videos from the events like various CTFs. Never really looked into it more. I think I also saw a documentary a few years ago that was pretty sick.

    Oh my god.

    It's not much, but this is the first actual consequences I've seen from the epstein fallout.

    Well, besides epstein himself.

    DinoCon has named several paleontologists and researchers who had links with Epstein after his conviction. And they've also banned the directors of various institutions that have continued to maintain ties with those people.
