Back in August Daniel Pocock gave a talk at ClueCon in Chicago. I watched it live, as it had been announced in advance. Hours later, when I woke up to download it, I could no longer even watch it. Day 1 of the event is still alive (7.5 hours of it). Day 3 came back online (after it was taken off the air, citing copyright reasons). It took a long time for the video to be restored and become accessible again.

The talk covers social control media, Debian, politics, and more. Despite few technical issues, everything was eventually clear enough and audible. There's lots in there that was never covered in textual form, including recordings which are quite incriminating as they reveal how women are coerced to testify against innocent people.

It starts around 5 hours and 57 minutes from the start (Invidious has several backends or mirrors). █
