I think it’s funny that UMN and the whole world is about to shut down the Linux/bugs researchers, but Oakland was like *hell yes*!

Top peer-reviewed security conference in our field: this is the kind of work we’re looking for!

University: your keycards have been revoked.

Something’s wrong here but I don’t know what.

If your University actively bans your research, are you allowed to include it in your tenure package?

Update: Oakland is going to weigh in. https://twitter.com/ieeessp/status/1385239081328709635

I will be really unhappy with IEEE if their response is to simply sanction the paper and its authors.

The conference PC made a choice to accept the paper, and our community should be willing to stand up for the science it publishes. Otherwise what are we even doing?
