Trying to help my town public meetings avoid random internet jerks joining the Zoom and spamming racist stuff.
How do these kids usually find public Zoom meetings to harass?
Trying random IDs?
Searching/scraping the web for Zoom links?
What do other places do with public Zoom meetings to minimize this?
The Charlottesville City Council has decided to suspend virtual public comments during public meetings after anonymous callers zoomed into a council meeting earlier this month and made racist remarks
@davidr I have zero tolerance for this.
Charlottesville is an AMAZING city, which is VERY liberal. I lived there for four years. Just because a bunch of fucking racist chodes descended on Charlottesville does not make it a racist supercenter.
I get you're just trying to crack wise, but, no. Not having it.
@davidr I wish I knew. It was handled very poorly. But in the defense of CPD, I don’t think we realized how awful Trump and his minions were yet.
I’m sorry for popping off, but this really chaps my ass. I know you didn’t mean anything by it — I’d have probably made the same joke. But I hate to see a city I love dragged thru the mud.
(I say this as a Hokie; Charlottesville is the home of our rivals!!)
