@Jon As I stated here <http://hackerpublicradio.org/pipermail/hpr_hackerpublicradio.org/2022-May/015225.html>[1], here <http://hackerpublicradio.org/pipermail/hpr_hackerpublicradio.org/2022-May/015237.html>[2], and again here <http://hackerpublicradio.org/pipermail/hpr_hackerpublicradio.org/2022-May/015241.html>[3]. the issue of Holocaust denial was with the previous show <http://hackerpublicradio.org/pipermail/hpr_hackerpublicradio.org/2022-March/015174.html>[4] and not this one. That show was removed with consent of the host, so you would not be able to listen to it.

@HPR The host has again contacted us to inform us that we may remove the show, and they may submit an edited version later in the month.

The show is now removed. but we will still discuss it on the community news with a view to formalizing a procedure for dealing with complaints/take down requests.

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.
