Censorship At Indymedia depends on which computer you submit your story to. One computer is particularly bad. Many European Indy sites, not this one, are on this machine.

I was interested in this, as some INDYMEDIA sites suffer from particularly heavy censorship,
and I wondered if they where connected in any way.
WELL THEY ARE. All the sites that censor heavily are included in the following list
(but not all of them censor heavily).

I mean youīve made a list and I know long lists are very impressive, but without any particular point appearing to lucidly be made.
You say censorship depends on which computer.
But Ireland isnīt using the computer.
oh thank god for that.
Neither by the way are the indymedia services ot collectives for:
Finland
or
Wales
so it appears we may have more than one indymedia computer.
please Iīm intrigued explain what this is all about?
Are you saying that the long list of indymedia centres above are using the same software to edit out offensive material?
Are you saying that the long list of indymedia centres above are little more than an extended website of one individual?
= what are you saying?

sitting next to Basque.
what are u saying?
or is this just the constant monday posting?
I love the French.
but the addition of sindominio.net
which is the home of Madrid indymedia.
sindominio has been around for long long long time.
Itīs thoughts on censorship and having computers linked up 24/7/356 to the internet are well known in the techy-circles.
So whilst there are a dew people online now, at this very moment who can point out flaws in your impressive list, what is it youīre saying?
Or we might as well point out embedded programs in Microsoft Excel version 3 which allow for a long list of the damned to pop up, and say hey
the proof!!!
Bill Gates is the antichrist.
and not think itīs just a programming joke.
so what are you saying?
and why arenīt the french on the list?
hey?
do you know?
are you saying that all of these sites are run by one meglomaniac?!
oh no! my worst fears have come to pass! its a worldwide conspiracy!
now all of us who have read the posting will vanish in without a tra
est perdu!
youīve been shocked by
the crusty hippy trippy anarko fifth international of loved up muppets
coming together with
the megaphone wielding fourth international of socialists and bolshieviks
coming together with
the historically accurate and chip on shoulder nationalist "we donīt have a chip on our shoulder" republican family
coming together with
the Roman Catholic church did a lot of very bad things but many of us donīt want more of it peacniks.
in their wonderful actions against this sort of thing
in Dublin and Shannon.
and now youīve abducted our beloved Pat C.
well youīll not waste my time.
oh no.
my time will not be wasted.
Pat has been abducted.
by psi phi Mon, Dec 9 2002, 1:38pm
only some moments ago.
a team of sinister darth vader types abseiled through the windows of historically accurate but maybe with a chip on the shoulder republican Irish history institute and took away Pat C.
This happened literally minutes after a news heavy and relevant post had been published on irelnad indymedia by the very trusted and respected CENSORSHIP.
our thoughts are as follows:
the crusty hippy trippy anarko fifth international of loved up muppets
coming together with
the megaphone wielding fourth international of socialists and bolshieviks
coming together with
the historically accurate and chip on shoulder nationalist "we donīt have a chip on our shoulder" republican family
coming together with
the Roman Catholic church did a lot of very bad things but many of us donīt want more of it peacniks.
in their wonderful actions against this sort of thing
in Dublin and Shannon.
has provoked this terrible thing.
well youīll not waste my time.
oh no.
my time will not be wasted.
onwards with the Evolving Revolution.
a moment ago I published an account of Pat C.īs abduction by these sinister elements
and itīs been censored off the newswire!
yes gone just- like Pat.
theyīll be coming for us all next.
with....." the computer ".
as per the editorial guidelines
being comments, not news - comments belong with the story being discussed - to have your say in response to a story on the site, use the "add your comments" link at the bottom of each story.
Pat may be o.k. his comments appeared on other articles, so maybe heīs just flying his flag safely down the newswire.
(my comments on other threads were before the rescue)
the libertarian space marines have freed me!
launched from the starship "remember kronstadt", the "Jack White" Special Services Squadron daringly cornered the international imc cabal who (posing as aliens) had abducted me!
it can now be revealed that tony o'reilly was behind the gradual world takeover of imc. he is now in libertarian custody. he will be shot after being tried a workers tribunal.
Exactly how old are you kids anyway? Do your daddies know that you're playing with the computer? Start your own website. You might call it Ding-Dong School.
1...make sure you have the bill payerīs permission before you use the internet.
or
2...tap into the telecom system by fiddling about with roof top wires.
(you may get caught doing this if you use your usual ISP but itīs good for ringing around and saying where the weekend party is)
this is I might add very illegal and not clever.
well it is clever, but not in the way your parents wanted you to be clever.
3...work for a telecommunciations company.
4...work for the security forces.
otherwise you just have to deal with the burn.
nice to see Pat has been rescued.
