The vice president attended the opening ceremony in Milan, where people also protested the presence of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at the Winter Olympics.
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.
No we definitely know and also consider ourselves jokes

brb, gotta deal with some tidying on our streets before we’re ready to have company over
I forgot about Ryan Harvey
We do.
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” 😆
Stop using Musk’s products.
Post it on Mastodon and here instead.
The REAL free speech platforms.
Is that enough? Isn’t there only like 11 million on mastadon?
You can also copy the Mastodon/Lemmy link to Twitter and Bluesky, I guess.
I’m with you, I just think on top of those we also need to focus on where people are. Facebook does the heavy lifting now. They show you the most popular right wing groups now. It’s easy to post to them
Only free as long as you cheer for me he right color. Otherwise it’s the same shit with different mental gymnastics .
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?
It’s not hard to mask them, just lower the microphones from the audience or play something else instead

You can’t find anything on youtube these days. Uploads from ordinary people don’t appear in search results. They’re crowded out by the mainstream. It was called youtube for a reason. It isn’t that anymore.
It’s all about mic placement. Ive had the good fortune to play sports on live tv in front of large crowds a good amount and it’s not uncommon at all for the crowd sound on the broadcast to be way different than in person. That being said, I’d bet there’s a different broadcast from a different country where you can totally hear the boos.
I am sure thet had more than a single microphone. So it is most probably all about the mix. Include crowd noises only when that is convenient.
If only there hadn’t been almost 300 years of testimony and evidence of the horror…
If you’re alive now, you won’t be for much longer
What was it musk said? something about censorship by tyrants?
Free speech absolutist.
Do we do cake day comments on lemmy? Whatever. Happy cake day!
If the instance and/or app is gonna show it, I think it’s ok to mention it!
happy happy cake daaaaay!
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.
TiVo… now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long long time. they still around?
I bought lifetime subscription 10+ years ago. It still updates the guide, but they stopped selling hardware.
Which is a shame. I like Tivo.
this little guy?
my family had a TiVo box back in 1999. probably one of the first DVRs to market.
my dad even hooked up a 2nd coax satellite line because you could record on one and watch the other. shit was wild!
a time where you could fast forward commercials instead of paying for them.I give it another year before they stop the guide updates.
Sadly.
cries
Nope.
A protector is a good non-enshittified alternative to a smart TV
Yep! I got a nice one. It’s 10+ years old now, but I got a new bulb in the box, waiting for my current bulb (which IS dying) to finally go.
Love it. It even does 3D and came with 2 pairs of glasses.
Wow, lasts 10+ years and has 3D capabilities. That sounds pretty good. What model is it?
Uh. Stop using TV. They fucked that platform already.
No I’m sorry this is strictly on NBC and American fragility. Streams of the Olympics in all other countries didn’t mess with audio. I heard Israel being booed as well as America.
ianal but I’m pretty sure dmca wouldn’t apply to free use exceptions if needed reporting and commentary
Problem is that fair use doesn’t prevent a dmca takedown. It doesn’t really matter until you go to court and prove it, unfortunately. These takedowns are functioning exactly as designed, allowing for easy corporate censorship with minimal repercussions for abuse.
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?
Yeah but the party prefers their brown shirts.
I prefer brown pants
Isn’t that Trump’s nickname at this point?
You’ll have that when the brown shirts knock on your door. Until then I get you can keep joking about it, because it isn’t happening to you (yet).
Makes me think they’re there to scan the entire stadium and upload it to their new tracking database
Most countries send a policing presence to major international sporting tournaments.
Yeah? Their specialised immigration police? Interesting, I didn’t know that. /s
Considering many of the issues would relate to customs or international travel, then yes there is often a customs/immigration element.
Why? You at in a different country. Why would you send YOUR immigration agents. That’s like bringing your own chef to a restaurant you don’t own.
Watch some recording of the Olympics when the Nazis were still around and your realize why ICE is there.
Why? Because there are people arriving from around the world, and this quickly overwhelms local policing.
Everyone hates you Vance. They hate you because you are dumb and you suck and you are a bad person.
and a couch fucker
"Edit: “dirty couch…” 😉
But if something’s dirty after you touch it The problem is your hands, dipshit Cut it off
I don’t know that he’s dumb, but that makes him even worse.
He’s not dumb. Oh my oh my the contrast. He sure as hell ain’t wise either.
hes just an empty puppet to be used by thiel.
Unfortunately a hollow straw man.
The antichrist has his puppet
The world is Michael Scott and Vance is Toby
Can confirm.
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.
Because the US didn’t have enough actual police officers they could bring?
Because the police is employed by states and the country. ICE is their private army, and obeys their master.
No difference than officers having red armbands in the 1930’s.
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?
Blocked on X…LOL! Fuck Leon Hitler and every time he cries about censorship.
I’ve seen NBC edited out the boos on their broadcast
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…
So sad the regime needs to protect its citizens from its international perception via media censorship. Very North Korea.
Eurovision did the same.
NBC are the only broadcaster to take their own full camera setup so they can focus on American competitors. They don’t have quite have the Olympic spirit.
Fuck you NBC.
I thought comedy was legal now? Video sure gave me a laugh.
Wish that shit platform would support free speech and not just csam.
Streisand the fucking thing.
People should just upload it (slightly cut or stretched) again and again. And again.
Nitecore edit (S L O W E D + R E V E R B)
That will give them fuel to call it fake and edited.
They don’t need doctored video to make that claim.
