'No One Should Have a Copyright on Vance Being Booed': Video From Olympics Blocked on X

8 months ago by Beep to c/technology

US Vice President JD Vance was booed at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Italy, but at least one widely shared video of it was swiftly scrubbed from X.

The vice president attended the opening ceremony in Milan, where people also protested the presence of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at the Winter Olympics.

Probably DMCA. The Olympic committee is very jealous and very aggressive. They control all recordings strictly.

They don't control my tivo recordings.

Which is why everyone should oppose ATSC 3.0.

With ATSC 3.0, TV stations can literally insert ads overlayed on screen at any point.

They can use your tv's smart functions to literally track your behavior.

They can refuse to allow you to record tv stations entirely, or just kndividual shows.

They can delete shows without your consent. They can block you from watching shows. They can make OTA tv programing pay per view.

I'm not saying they ARE doing this, or are planning it, but they CAN. And if capitalism has taught me anything it's "fuck you, pay us, and then pay us again, and fuck you again".

See......humans are stupid. We could all be living in lush rich forests, having sex in bright sunny fields, with no cares in the world.

Instead, we all have jobs, and make ourselves slaves to them. We hand over control of all aspects of our lives to corporations.

Instead of utopia, we live in a parking lot jungle. Where the profits for paid parking are more important than affordable housing, and rent control.

And it all rolls downhill. Even television is trying its hand at enshitification. Don't buy a smart tv. Don't buy ATSC 3.0 anything. Tell these fuckers to fuck off!

No I'm sorry this is strictly on NBC and American fragility. Streams of the Olympics in all other countries didn't mess with audio. I heard Israel being booed as well as America.
