Following the publication of this schnews article, Indymedia London
would like to make it clear that it does not log, monitor or filter
the IP addresses of those who visit or publish on this website. The
hyperactive code that indymedia london and others [1,2] run on does
not have these facilities built into it.

The story published by schnews relates to the website found at
indymedia.org.uk only.

The information published does not apply to any other Indymedia
website, inside or outside the UK. Indymedia websites live on
different servers and use different Content Management Systems, as
well has having different policies and abuse measures.

In fact indymedia london takes the issue of IP logging so seriously
that we do not allow people to embed content like Youtube videos on
the website, since that would make the IP addresses of viewers
available to youtube. Whilst this means Indymedia London may look a
little behind the times in terms of internet development when compared
to other websites, it's simply because we take your online security
seriously.
