Its regardlessly still computer-adjacent, not like the talk linked from 39c3

Ok let me rephrase then if you didn’t understand my point: Its getting too filled with politics that don’t have anything to do with computers

How is it computer adjacent, keep in mind, it's a talk about how the media communicates things...

Surveillance was the political topic of 2020, so there was quite a few talks about that, migration is the political topic 2025, so there are a lot of talks about that

There are also other unrelated things which do not have a lot to do with computers, like "all creatures welcome".

    There is one important difference: surveillance is a deeply computer-/hacking-related topics while migration isn't.

    So I would say a talk about surveillance (as long as it is relevant for hacking topics) typically has its place while it is much harder to find a reason why a talk about migration has relevance for a hacking conference.
