Friedrich Krupp AG Hoesch-Krupp is a great runner up though

GENEVA, Switzerland — On Tuesday, United Nations’ flagship platform for artificial intelligence, The AI for Good Global Summit 2025, kicked off in Geneva. But the commencement of the summit wasn’t without controversy. Hours before the keynote speaker, Abeba Birhane—founder and lead of the TCD AI Accountability Lab (AIAL) and one of Time magazine’s 2023 100 Most Influential People in AI—was set to take the stage, she was asked by organizers to remove some of her slides.

Specifically, the organizers wanted Birhane to “remove anything that mentions ‘Palestine’ ‘Israel’ and replace ‘genocide’ with ‘war crimes‘” and “a slide that explains illegal data torrenting by Meta.”

“In the end, it was either remove everything that names names (big tech particularly) and remove logos or cancel my talk,” Birhane, whose research focuses on algorithmic bias and AI ethics and fairness, wrote in a Bluesky post.

Whelp I guess we now know you can’t beat the TESCREAL cult by showing up to their propaganda summits and trying to do a TED Talk.

It isn’t the case that stage musicians need to be government approved. It is the case that high-profile acts at high profile shows are being censored. There is a huge difference.

just ain’t the case, this is a thing that happens sometimes at monied levels of capitalist event planning in Imperial Anglophone countries, not in day-to-day life for all the Volk

don’t pretend like western governments have this kind of reach and power, it will cause people trapped in their borders to kill themselves

star upside down?

that’s A Muppet Christmas Carol

A Christmas Carol is the socialist diatribe by Charles Dickens with all the chains and suffering that Clive Barker cribbed from for The Hellbound Heart

wild that Se7en was so influential we’re still seeing “seven deadly sins” memes today, the only other movie so iconic is probably The Matrix
