Subject: | [madPL] Trolls and the need for Allies |
Dear all, Yesterday I gave a talk at the Women in Logic workshop. It was a scientific talk with remarks at the end on being a woman in logic. The youtube stream was reported and taken down -- yesterday we were not sure when/why, butÂhere's the report from the organisers: - What happened is that someone "flagged" the WiL video streaming towards the end of Alexandra's talk (after the scientific part was concluded). Â- As soon as someone flags a video streaming, Youtube immediately removes everything (and I mean _everything_, streaming, video file, identifications) and sends a warning to the whole FSCD-IJCAR Channel. This process is particularly automatic as human intervention is minimized during the pandemic. Â- We immediately made an Appeal to Youtube, but while the removal of the content is automatized, the Appeal needs to be approved by humans. Â- Today, we received the "Decision on your Video Appeal": "After further review, we have reinstated your video.". Summing up, we won the Appeal, but it is not very useful. My personal opinion: someone raised a community complaint and flagged the video as a hostile act towards the WiL workshop. This is a further proof that you need to continue doing what you're doing! I am really sad to see that some troll hates women so much he was monitoring the stream and waited for my "complaints" to start to take down the stream. I feel very welcome at MadPL and I see a lot of you as Allies to women and otherÂminorities in theÂfield. Please continue being allies because as this shows the field has a long way to go to be really inclusive. Cheers, Alexandra |
