IMC UK Censorship?

I'm shocked to see the amount of sites highlighting IMC UK censorship issues. Surely there is no smoke without fire?

The only reason offered for this disturbing act is:

"This post contradicts the Editorial Guidelines and has been hidden from the newswire."

While items posted to the newswire are often informative and valid.. yet IMC UK seem to "hide" the truth.

Why?

I will not post the web sites highlighting these issues for fear of this article also being "hidden" (plus there's just too many to mention).

A couple of things are clear though, IMC UK are targeting an individual for "spamming" the newswire - while another group openly admit to the actions.

Something else is clear: a lot of worldwide Indymedia sites are highlighting the problem IMC UK have.

With alternative media sites (including IMC sites) - highlighting these problems on a scale which is growing week by week, how can we trust IMC UK and indeed, why are they still apart of the IMC network?
