Recent: Covering Dr. Richard Stallman's Talk in Montpellier France
The Free Software Foundation (FSF) did not advertise the talk by RMS (its founder), who spoke in France almost exactly 23 hours ago. We know why.
But this footage by Daniel Pocock shows that many people attended regardless and now that the talk is online many people watch it, pursuing the message despite the livestream being intercepted ("put 'offline' due to false copyright allegations," an associate has opined).
Since we covered the talk and uploaded it many people have watched it and/or have read the summary. This is today (17 hours):
grep Stallman /var/log/apache2/*.log | wc -l 1855 grep RMS /var/log/apache2/*.log | wc -l 706
This was yesterday:
grep Stallman /var/log/apache2/*.log.1 | wc -l 1537 grep RMS /var/log/apache2/*.log.1 | wc -l 684
Suppressing a strong message begets backlash or invokes the Streisand Effect. █
