Free Speech on IndyMedia
Mike (MJP) | 16.07.2002 11:18
It appears that once again IndyMedias Editors think its neccessary to remove posts and ban people from posting their political opinions on issues discusses on the site.
This morning I recieved notification from someone claiming to be on behalf on the editors of Indymedia saying they would delete any posts i make. So this post might not appear. if it does... then :)
I want to know how indymedia can claim to be indepdant and to allow freedom of speech when its censoring anyone that has an opinion differant from that the editorial team subscribe to. basically that makes the editorial team the very people they claim to dislike - fascists.
I'd also say that, if they are wanting to remove newswire articles, then they should concentrate on the ones that are fabrications and full of untruths, not peoples own personal opinions on political issues.
