Looking forward to this years installment of talks. I sort of wonder if this year will be a bit more technical again. The last 5 years felt like technical topics faded into the background in favor if social issues and knitting ...

Saw it live and it was quite enjoyable.

Which organization do you mean?
Why is this comment flagged? Is antifa having its own segment/talks? this would be very useful to know, as they're indeed an extremely radical organization(you can have left views and not resort to anything resembling that IMO)

You’re german, you should be very well aware that CCC always has been political and that being Antifa is a stance a lot of folks support. Don’t try to muddy the waters here. In the US it’s a different case but here we’re explicitly speaking of the CCC.
Just because lots of people support it doesn't mean it's not a terrorist organization. ISIS has 8-12M supporters.

I think he means Antifa, which is not an organisation but more of a network or movement. And no, not "most" would call them a "terrorist group".
PSA: All talks will be live-translated between English and German, and into one additional language (primarily into French or Spanish; on occasion there were translations into Russian and Mandarin) [0]. If you find any talks on the schedule [1] that seem interesting but are in a language you're not fluent in, use the 'native'/'translated' switcher in the video player. Subtitles will be available after congress, here…
You'd have to be lucky though. Unless you are/were an angel (volunteer) you'll have to depend on the ticket lottery. The switch to Hamburg wasn't enough to accommodate the number of participants nor did the switch to Leipzig. It really is a very popular event.

Antifa is not one organization and the lowest common denominator is acting against fascism.

The non-technical topics couldn't be more relevant today. The idea that tech just exists in a bubble, and that one does not need to concern themselves with any ethical or moral implications is causing more harm than ever before. Dismissing that as "social issues and knitting" is concerning to me. (knitting also being a notably feminine-coded activity)

What's your definition of a terrorist organization? Antifa uses violence against opponents, vandalism, and arson to extort political concessions. There may not be global/regional leaders like in other terror groups, but people identify as being a member of the group and coordinate their efforts among each other.
Antifa means antifascist action - when there's fascists doing things, antifa appears to rry to stop them from doing fascist things. Antifa has no leaders and no real membership because it's just people standing against fascism.
If someone identifies as a member, they are wrong and possibly fake.
