Censorship at US Indymedia

Indymedia seems very infiltrated in the US.

Do we call it censorship when Indymedia collectives remove links to commentary from their home page? I do. Meanwhile, Indymedia has been doing this to me in several places.

First, I posted an article entitled "911 and the Society of the Spectacle' to New York's IMC. Here it is:
http://nyc.indymedia.org/newswire/display/140816/index.php

New York's IMC removed it within 30 minutes. I tried to post screenshots of NY IMC's censorship at Portland IMC. They would not let it get on their newswire.

I posted the screenshots on Portland IMC the next morning:
http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2005/02/310009.shtml

they waited a couple of hours and then took this link off their home page.

Is US Indymedia under control of the US Department Homeland Security? It sure seems that way.

What the fuck are you whining about?

Your article is still at the url you provide here, therefore it is not censored.

Get your shit straigth, cabron.

IMC collectives don't have a responsibility to promote your, or any one else's, articles or features.

What are you expecting?

>>Is US Indymedia under control of the US Department Homeland Security?

Yeah , that's it. Whatch out for the monster under your bed too.

CMAQ: Vie associative


Quebec City collective: no longer exist.

Get involved !

 

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
