And having just read the other comments...
Voltaire does not matter when ONE strike would get Ken landed in prison.
As much as we hate it, there are rules about stuff like using
copyrighted material, or acts of slander or defamation on public media.
The only people who get away with breaking the law repeatedly are either
Donald Trump or Conservative MPs and ministers.
And they have deep pockets.

IMHO any show that contains stuff that might get the janitors into
bother legally should be canned.
And repeat offenders should be barred.
Obviously I don't know about the content. But what I do know is anything
like this that I created and which came to the attention of my employers
would get me the sack.

Hi All,
You may remember
<http://hackerpublicradio.org/pipermail/hpr_hackerpublicradio.org/2022-March/015174.html>
that back in March a host submitted a show that we had some problems
with. We didn't go into details at the time as I wanted to give the
host the benefit of the doubt. Suffice to say that were the show
posted, I was looking at a considerable fine and up to a year in
prison. In the end the host got back to us and decided to post it else
where. As it turns out that platform also did not post the content in
my region for the same reasons.
We now have another show from the same host and it has content that
would bring us other legal issues, as well as violating the terms and
conditions of our hosting providers. The host is not responding to my
emails, presumably they are out camping again.
While our policy on censorship states "We do not vet, edit, moderate
or in any way censor any of the audio you submit," it continues ",we
trust you to do that
<https://hackerpublicradio.org/stuff_you_need_to_know.php#not_moderated>."
While this host was given the benefit of the doubt the first time, I
feel that by immediately posting another show like this they have
betrayed the trust of the Janitors, Hosting Providers, Patrons, and
the wider HPR community.
As you can imagine even having the show in the future feed is a bit
risky, but we can not allow it to hit the main feed until the entire
HPR community has had time to decide how to proceed. We will bring
this up on the next community news and allow discussions as to how we
deal with this stuff going forward. Up until now it has not been
necessary but alas apparently now it is.
So I am once again asking you to allow me to move the problem show out
so the host has time to get back to me.
FYI: The cc list has been included on all correspondence.
