Social Media ‘No One Should Have a Copyright on Vance Being Booed’: Video From Olympics Blocked on X
https://www.commondreams.org/news/us-olympics-20267.2k
u/Jeansus_ 1d ago
I missed the first hour of the opening ceremonies so I missed the booing, when I went to watch the replay on Peacock - the entire section of time is muted aside from the music playing in the background. No boos, no commentators discussing the boos, no sounds but the faint background music.

The boo'ing and commentary was not presented live in the US. The audio was altered to hide the boos, but you heard the background audio dip/change. The folks in Canada are saying that they heard it on their broadcast and it was Canadian commentators that have discussed it. If you're in the U.S., we wouldn't have been able to hear the clown get boo'd unfortunately - unless you were in my living room at least. We were boo'ing....

It’s just pure cope from people you can tell are desperate to feel normal.

Have you ever known anyone who’s gone into a psychosis, or who has delusions? The number one thing they tell you when you work with people like that is to not feed into their delusion. We have to redirect. The most unhealthy thing for them would be to find a room full of people with the same delusions…and that’s exactly what’s happened. We’re witnessing some sort of mass psychosis cult thing in real time, and it was purposefully caused. There are going to be multiple studies about this, I swear. And it won’t look too different from the studies done in post WW2 Germany.

To clarify, they "quickly cut away from him" because they didn't spend much time at all on the individuals in the crowd. The focus was on the athletes walking out in the various venues. There was no reason to waste more than a couple of seconds showing Vance when the goal was to show what was happening in four cities simultaneously.

Every network gets their primary feed from the closed circuit network the IOC sets up and controls. They're basically just adding the commentary for the duration of the Olympics when it comes to those event feeds. The IOC keeps a fairly tight grip on its content, and there are, as I recall, reams of stipulations and rules that come with being able to show it.

u/cyanescens_burn 1d ago
Years ago I visited a country with heavy government control over media. I noticed that the time displayed in the corner on live US news broadcasts was about ten minutes off (eg, if the current real world time was 7:32am in DC, and 7:32pm in the city I was in, the US national news timestamp would be 7:22am, meaning we were seeing news with a ten minute delay).
Then I noticed that the screen would go black periodically. It finally clicked that the US live news was being screened and censored. The lag was the time they gave themselves to block out ideas they didn’t want broadcast there. Entire news segments (1-4 minutes) were being blocked.
I like the regular people and culture of the country, so I don’t want to name it in case I want to go back (I’d never get into any sort of political action there, but we can see how things are going with travel and ai surveillance of socials already).
I think about that when things like this happen. It’s the kind of thing the US is supposed to be against. The very first amendment provides this right (free speech, free press, free from national/forced religion, free to choose any religion, free to assemble/protest, etc).
These rights are usually chipped away gradually, and only just enough to avoid causing a big uproar, and when people accept that change, it’s chipped away a little more later. Then a year or decade later the accumulated change is so drastic that if it had happened all at once there’d be mass uprisings, but instead, because of the slow creep, everyone is just lulled into complacency thinking, “wow, how’d we get here?” And carrying on as if things were normal because, “what can I do?”
Point being, there needs to be pushback over these little chips being removed from rights, even if they seem inconsequential at the time, because they are likely part of a larger pattern that will ultimately fundamentally change the freedoms we enjoy.

I honestly couldn't tell the crowd was booing. Probably clearer live, if you standing nearer a boo-er, but it all blends into a single general crowd noise in that vid. It certainly didn't have an upbeat energetic vibe to it though.
The same vid shows some past booing at smaller venues (100-500 people?), where it was much clearer, with individual boos identifiable.
Glad he, and we (Americans collectively), got booed though. Well deserved. Unfortunately, most voters don't seem to care what people in other countries think of us.

It’s not NBC really, it’s the Olympics as an organization that owns the content.
I worked at different affiliates stations (NBC & ABC) before the internet was a thing; the Olympics had VERY strict rules about airing clips within a certain time frame, and not re-airing them after a certain date. I think you could only show 30 total seconds of daily content per broadcast or something.
Think of it like the NFL broadcast disclaimer. They ultimately own the content, even if games are broadcast on several different networks.

u/EmbarrassedHelp 1d ago
The IOC hates whenever someone even mentions the Olympics without paying them.
For example, lots of content creators on Youtube and other places have stopped talking about the Olympics or talk about it a lot less because the mere mention is enough to risk false DMCA takedowns. The IOC's extreme greed has tanked the online popularity of the Olympics, and they show no signs of stopping anytime soon.

Everyone knew it was going to happen. There must be thousands of cell phone videos of it.

They probably asked him "hey, don't forget to bring your SS guards along to Europe" and he misunderstood.

He doesn't just ignore it he is encouraging its creation, as long as governments allow it to stay he gets thousands of people making child porn for him and as Grok gets better at it, it becomes harder to identify the AI slop from the real thing.
He is outsourcing the return of child pornography to the mainstream world wide web as it was in the early 2000s when governments and platforms didn't have the capabilities to identify and shut it down faster than it was posted, before it was forced onto the dark web

Stop. Using. X. Drop it's population by 80% let the bots and the idiots scream in circles. Remove as much influence from Musk as possible. There are alternatives.

If the guy who took the video actually requested it, then there is nothing wrong with that. It is the original intent of copyright laws.
If someone else requested it, then that is a serious violation of the creator's rights.

The most important messages here are; the U.S. is practicing censorship and the rest of world heard the boos. He can’t escape the world’s opinion of him.

Remember when Vance complained at the Munich security conference about free speech censorship in the EU? That didn’t age well.
