TECHNICAL 'PROBLEMS' in EDITORIAL POLICY

paul sayer | 18.04.2005 19:26 | Indymedia

TECHNICAL 'PROBLEMS' seem to coincide with many contributors that seem to be restricted in exercising their right to freedom of speech. This freedom is supported and cultivated in Europe but it appears this 'freedom' is being restricted and curtailed in the UK GERARD LEMOS has close Labour Party links to the PM

imc 'volunteer' is clearly biased - his comments are not worthy of response. For another 'contributor' to describe themselves as 'user' gives no credibility to that contribution.

Information posted has since been checked and found to be true and only too accurate.

Several users have now lost all faith in your editorial policy which is now misleading readers of the indymedia. On other sites we have spoken of this as we have taken copies of what was posted on Indymedia before and we have copied the different information that is there now. realised it is pointless making any kind of contribution If every article on a highly sensitive topic is ruthlessly edited or wiped - how can any user have faith in Indymedia again.

The more this happens, the more users you lose. Indymedia just gets discredited. You are the losers - not us. We just post the truth, which has been carefully checked on to other sites.

We just think that the authorities have taken over - or is it that you are now cating as agents for the authorities.

Why would an editor want to misleadingly represent that a person lives close to Highgate underground station, when it is a public fact that the person lives behind Pond Square close to and up the hill from Archway Underground station?

The same tactics of misrepresenting some basic facts by editing out essential words were used in Nazi Germany - and look what happened there?

Passing on the truth would be rather better than selective culling. Don't you agree?
