> Who would have to be threatened so much to cancel this? What? The government of the host country said some of the themes were potentially at odds with their national policy, and they weren't sure they liked some of the people involved. That doesn't sound like anyone was threatened, it sounds like they should have picked somewhere with a stronger tradition of free dialogue. | ||

You said; "it sounds like they should have picked somewhere with a stronger tradition of free dialogue." Where would that be in today's world? Within the past decade, nearly every country in the world has overtly attacked digital freedoms. Can you name one country that has improved digital freedoms during the past decade? It seems to me that this conference should be held online only, and hosted from an undisclosed location. | ||
