It really bugs me that I e-mailed World Ethical Data Forum and told them about the dangerous flashing animations on their start page...

and they didn't even respond. Much less remove the troubling content.

World Ethical Data Forum autoplays a video at the top of their page that can trigger photosensitive epileptic seizures.

@axbom Hey Per... so sorry, we've looked for this email and don't see it anywhere in our inbox. No need to take time to resend it (unless you'd like to, in which case thanks) as your point's very well made. Our webdev's away for a couple of weeks after the forum and I don't want to go clattering about in his code myself, so if you'd allow us a bit of time we'll get the video replaced with this year's (which doesn't seem to have the same trouble?). Thanks for taking time to write about this!

@worldethicaldataforum Thanks for getting back to me. That is concerning also that my message never made it to you. I used the web form on your contact page here, maybe you need to check that as well: https://worldethicaldataforum.org/contact-us

Glad to hear you acting on it. Thank you.
