I oppose censorship and cancel-culture at infosec conferences. This will probably get me canceled.

Stop with the cancel-culture in infosec

The only sane position is neutrality

I'm screenshotting this response because I don't want engagement with it's author, but at the same time I think it's important to see the sort of behavior that's acceptable in the infosec community.
@ErrataRob unpopular take: there is no infosec โ€œcommunityโ€
@hrbrmstr @ErrataRob this is my take as well. that crowd doesnt act like a 'community'. its basically a forum trying to cheat their way past "having any skills or experience" and getting security jobs
@Viss @hrbrmstr I guess it's a consequence of going mainstream, that the non-techies take over from the techies.
@ErrataRob @Viss @hrbrmstr It's important not to confuse real InfoSec practitioners with what you see on social media. I work with nearly 500 researchers and others who take their jobs very seriously and perform incredibly technical and important work to protect the general public. Social media is not very representative of reality.
@chetwisniewski @ErrataRob @hrbrmstr this underscores the "there isnt really a community" part.
@Viss @chetwisniewski @ErrataRob @hrbrmstr Well, it sounds like there are at least two.
