How adorable! It’s all the fuck over YouTube

    Yes but if the presenters didn't mention it, I could not detect boos from the video alone.

    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.

    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.

    I don't know how one would mask it Maybe the crowd is totally overdubbed. I cannot find phone recordings. Are all phone uploads of the event being rejected by YouTube?

    ICE providing security for American politicians in another country? Don’t they have a dedicated security group called the Secret service or something like that?

    Probably DMCA. The Olympic committee is very jealous and very aggressive. They control all recordings strictly.

    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!

    I always have my "smart" TV disconnected from internet, and I run my media viewing through the steam deck in desktop mode, but any Linux computer will work just as fine. Then I employ some high sea villainy and boom, set to coast.

    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 😆

    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.

    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.

    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…

    Ask yourselves, why do officials need ICE protection when they have the Secret Service?

    They’re there to assist policing American fans, not to protect officials.

    People should just upload it (slightly cut or stretched) again and again. And again.

    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.

    Wasn‘t he complaining last year in Germany about how in Europe free speech was under attack? I am certain he will criticise Musk the same now, right? Right?

    The video from the TV station must be copyrighted, but about everybody else's video from the audience?
