Open letter to indymedia nazi moderators

a real protestor | 29.03.2011 00:17

I notice that the indymedia nazi moderators have blanket censored a lot of criticism of the black bloc, whilst leaving anything that supports it untouched.

1. Totally BIASED editorial..... way worse than the mainstream media - at least they are vaguely unbiased. Indymedia is taking the piss in this respect.

2. Considering that only a small minority of the 500,000 protestors where "black-bloc" it is blatantly obvious that the majority of protestors were not aligned with them.

I think it absolutely disgusting that Indymedia moderators feel they can attempt to dissuade 100% of the criticism of this. Sure, you can quash trolls, but to remove 100% of all negative comments is blatantly a censorship akin to North Korea.

If you just removed 75% of the negative comments, I would be more amenable, but to remove 100% just goes to show that you are nazis.

ps. technically, this is "news" because it is being released as a press release, so indicate exactly what part of the "guidelines" (which you seem to make up as you go along) this is breaking.
