Summary: The video talks about some of the background surrounding our latest series and efforts to undermine, silence and demonise Techrights (deliberate distortion of our stance); it proceeds to discussing the first part, one of almost 20 in total

PUBLISHING articles about EPO corruption has never been easy because this institution, Europe's second-largest, is run by Mafia-like entities (e.g. Serco [1, 2]) and their facilitators. Corrupt officials like Benoît Battistelli and their appointees, including António Campinos, would usher in and profit from such corruption. Never mind their attack on the actual law, e.g. lobbying for European software patents while bullying and defaming judges.

The video above is about Part I, which was split into two. Yesterday's IRC logs reveal some of the difficulties going ahead with this series. Much disruption is caused by outside forces known for their track record of trolling. They exploit the fact that we don't censor and ban anyone in IRC (free speech is important to us, as freedom of expression is needed for true journalism).

Later today we'll publish Part II, which concerns Microsoft and a big scandal at the EPO (connected to Microsoft leveraging racism at a time of soaring violence against Asian-Americans). Copies of key documents have meanwhile been disseminated through IPFS. Spreading wide makes us more robust/resistant to censorship attempts. ⬆
