The lack of comment moderation on the LiveStream is atrocious. "It's just a livestream!" It's supposed to be a learning experience. Get moderators, please.

The very first comment when you click on the link is incredibly offensive and not welcoming to women.

It's unacceptable that the comment is still visible on there. We need to fix this for women to want to come back and speak!

The comment is garbage, but I don't think an anonymous, unmoderated comment is going to stop the type of women who speak at these sorts of events from wanting to come back.

You're completely right. Thanks for alerting us!

Even if human moderators are too much to ask for, which is totally understandable, LiveStream must have automatic filters.

Who is the MC?
