It's nice to see that when #DEFCON says "Don't support rapists" they really mean it. https://techcrunch.com/2026/02/18/hacking-conference-def-con-bans-three-people-linked-to-epstein/

@evacide they should ban everyone else mentioned in those files too.

@meph @evacide That has to be done carefully. The files contains a lot of everything, including victims names and totally unrelated people (for instance, there are multiple open source software license files, as well as user manuals. the people cited in those are extremely unlikely to be related to epstein).

@SamantazFox @evacide well clearly, but to clarify, I was referring to the abusers and facilitators, such as Elon Musk, who was at Defcon at least in 2018

@SamantazFox @meph @evacide TBH I don't think Space Hitler would want to go to Def Con. He'd be trolled all the way out of the venue.

@SamantazFox I wish I could claim that as my own creation. It's too on point.
