> Not sure about this event but in Europe you have to hire a professional security company.
This is not universal across Europe.
I've been part of organizing computer events in the 5k participant range without any hired security or medical staff. I think it greatly depends on the standing and culture of volunteer work in your country.
This comment scares me a little, having recently re-watched The Handmaid's Tale...
I don't really understand the premise. We're already pushing several limits for global sustainability due to the human (over-)population (climate change, food supply, loss of fauna diversity).
Why is it not a good thing to reduce the population size?
Why should we not work towards a sub-2 TFR for a few generations, to reduce human impact on our planet a little?
Why should governments actively work against people's right to choose whether to have a child or not, by increasing fertility through additives to the drinking water?
Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Justice and Public Security and Ministry of Foreign Affairs are the only ministries not affected. Press conference did not mention which platform or supplier was affected, but they let slip that they're working with Microsoft to address the issue.
