The Israeli Defense Tech Conference, aimed at tech companies working with the Israeli military, was scheduled for November at the Google for Startups campus in Tel Aviv.

The event, according to a listing posted on the event RSVP app Luma, was pitched at “founders, investors and innovators” looking to network and learn more about the defense tech space. It was co-sponsored by Google, Fusion Venture Capital, Genesis, a startup accelerator, and the Israeli military’s research and development arm, known as the Directorate of Defense Research and Development (DDR&D, or Ma’fat).

When The Intercept contacted Google, the event page disappeared.

Google was not only listed as the physical host of the event and one of its sponsors, but the event listing also included a notice that attendees “approve of sharing [their] details with the organizers (Fusion & Google)” as part of signing up.

When The Intercept contacted Google, as well as the other companies and venture capital firms on the event page, the event page disappeared.

Let me guess... they're still having the meeting, it's just that the pages are removed...

Are you not familiar with the staff at TI? They have some of the most tenacious investigative reporters in the US

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So tenacious that they'll leak their sources and put them in prison.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes. And then apologize and pay for their legal fees.

They fucked up, but it wasn't intentional

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh, they paid her legal fees? How nice!

Of course, that doesn't fucking matter when she was put in prison for five years.

Of course it matters
