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.
What was it musk said? something about censorship by tyrants?

Probably DMCA. The Olympic committee is very jealous and very aggressive. They control all recordings strictly.
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
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.

ianal but I’m pretty sure dmca wouldn’t apply to free use exceptions if needed reporting and commentary

Love the Streisand effect. I had no idea there was footage of this cabbage patch chimp getting booed at the Olympics until they blocked it 😆
PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
In Canada we don’t censor that sort of stuff so watching the CBC stream was funny. All applause then the couch pest showed up and the entire stadium mood changed. Americans truly don’t realize they are jokes outside of their country.
crash_thepose@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
No we definitely know and also consider ourselves jokes
rizzothesmall@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Like Israel at Eurovision. They had all the anti-booing on the streams, but some of it was still slipping through and Graham was like “I don’t know what you can all hear at home, but this definitely an energetic reception” 😆

Everyone hates you Vance. They hate you because you are dumb and you suck and you are a bad person.

Ask yourselves, why do officials need ICE protection when they have the Secret Service?
ohulancutash@feddit.uk 2 weeks ago
They’re there to assist policing American fans, not to protect officials.
bob_lemon@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
Because the US didn’t have enough actual police officers they could bring?
K1nsey6@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I’ve seen NBC edited out the boos on their broadcast
homes@piefed.world 2 weeks ago
You know, I just read that about an hour ago, but I can’t seem to find that version of the video. All the versions I see are the ones with all the boos and jeers, lol.
Someone’s algorithm needs a tweak…
jaybone@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
So sad the regime needs to protect its citizens from its international perception via media censorship. Very North Korea.
vorpuni@tarte.nuage-libre.fr 2 weeks ago
Eurovision did the same.
ohulancutash@feddit.uk 2 weeks ago
NBC are the only broadcaster to take their own full camera setup so they can focus on American competitors. They don’t have quite have the Olympic spirit.
MousePotatoDoesStuff@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Post it on Mastodon and here instead.
The REAL free speech platforms.
Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Is that enough? Isn’t there only like 11 million on mastadon?
MousePotatoDoesStuff@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
You can also copy the Mastodon/Lemmy link to Twitter and Bluesky, I guess.
Randomgal@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Only free as long as you cheer for me he right color. Otherwise it’s the same shit with different mental gymnastics .

I thought comedy was legal now? Video sure gave me a laugh.
Wish that shit platform would support free speech and not just csam.

The copyright doesn't apply to the event of Vance being booed itself, it applies to that specific video recording of it. Sure the video creator is a dick for getting it taken down, but they're within their legal rights to.
skisnow@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Copyright is a compromise, not an absolute. It has all kinds of provisions for things like commentary, public interest etc which generally speaking does allow short clips of a greater work.

sqgl@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Yes but if the presenters didn’t mention it, I could not detect boos from the video alone.
www.youtube.com/shorts/iZRAa4fKZ3U
I have noticed this often when someone gets booed. Pretty obvious when you are there but not on video. As an audio nerd it has me perplexed.
Scrollone@feddit.it 2 weeks ago
I also think they were ready for that and they masked it live. It doesn’t make any sense for the presenters to mention the booing if you can’t even hear it in the recording. It must have been very loud.
Mog_fanatic@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
It’s all about mic placement. Ive had the good fortune to play sports on live tv in front of large crowds a good amount and it’s not uncommon at all for the crowd sound on the broadcast to be way different than in person. That’s being said, I’d bet there’s a different broadcast from a different country where you can totally hear the boos.
homes@piefed.world 2 weeks ago
If only there hadn’t been almost 300 years of testimony and evidence of the horror…
