Hi Alexandra,
Thanks for sharing the link. I listened to your non-scientific
remarks. There is one part which I found extremely offensive: the
implication that Germans are superior to Americans, Brazilians,
British, Indians. Many of us have heard that numerous times
before in many different ways.
Just thought you might like to know.
Cheers,
Guri
Hi Tom,
My non-scientific remarks start around 6:38:40.
Cheers,
Alexandra
Hi Alexandra,
Glad to hear that the appeal was
successful.
Tom
P.S. Can you send a link to the
video?
For what is worth, we will
continue to do our best to make our group a
welcoming place for women and everyone.
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, but here'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).
- 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.
- We immediately made an Appeal to Youtube,
but while the removal of
the content is automatized, the Appeal needs
to be approved by humans.
- 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 other minorities in the field.
Please continue being allies because as this
shows the field has a long way to go to be
really inclusive.
