Video of a public talk destroyed

dimanche 11 octobre 2015 à 02:00

Purdue University destroyed the video of a public talk, on US government orders, because the talk's slides showed material from Snowden revelations.

This is part of the US government's policy of refusing to recognize that formerly secret information has been published. It sounds like sheer insanity, but it has real repressive consequences.

Universities must reject secret government research entirely if it comes with conditions that apply to the rest of the university.
