I can’t believe they canceled this cancer conference for adopting Mozilla’s business model.

Economist Group cancer conference cancelled due to links to tobacco firms

Exclusive: Speakers and attendees pull out of Economist Impact event over ties to Philip Morris and Japan Tobacco

“In what world can an organisation seriously think it is all right to run a prominent cancer event, bringing together world experts, while also taking sponsorship from a company whose product has caused millions of cancer deaths worldwide? Absolutely shocking.”

I don’t understand, this sort of thing never stopped Rightscon, CPDP, Nordic Privacy Arena, Amsterdam Privacy Week, or FOSDEM.

Maybe some tech folks are so next level they’re immune to institutional corruption or something. Yeah, that must be it. Otherwise it would mean they’re corrupt to the core.
