True. It's mambo jambo just to make a point that they've dealt with the issue.

You know what would be better for the conference? A no pictures policy like defcon.

That way,people would not be able to violate others privacy for their own agendas.



(Your point stands, but it is at least interesting that DEFCON apparently removed that policy, AFAICT.)


can't find anything newer than this https://www.defcon.org/html/defcon-20/dc-20-press.html

"July 26 – 29th, 2012"

[...]

"Photography/video without explicit permission is forbidden."


> 3) Don't be surprised if you get your picture taken.

> For good or bad, the DefCon policy of no pictures/video is gone. So don't be surprised if people randomly take your picture... Maybe you'll get lucky and they'll put you on their facebook.

> Then there was a policy change. (Last year?) that pretty much said, "cameras are okay anywhere at Defcon" though there were disagreements on how much was included with "everywhere at Defcon" such as CTF players, room, and screens.

> Yea it was changed last year, but I still told everyone at 101 NOT to take pictures without permission (ie: While DefCon Policy say's this, you may want to do this) And I probably will do it again, because it's a good rule to have. The "Policy" may say that pictures can be taken anywhere at anytime. But the actuality of the situation is that people may still get really really pissed at some random person taking their photo.

Note: "mumbj jumbo" is the term.

"mambo jambo" is incredibly racist against Latinos, but I promise not to try to get you fired over it, or call you an "ass clown"
