INDYMEDIA sites suffer from particularly heavy censorship, and I wondered if they where connected in any way. WELL THEY ARE. All the sites that censor heavily are included in the following list (but not all of them censor heavily). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The main computer with the Name: stallman.indymedia.org and IP Address: 216.231.32.98 has the following aliases (that is all the following addresses are on the same computer) Aliases: melbourne.indymedia.org Aliases: sydney.indymedia.org Aliases: austria.indymedia.org Aliases: barcelona.indymedia.org Aliases: belgium.indymedia.org Aliases: germany.indymedia.org Aliases: prague.indymedia.org Aliases: sweden.indymedia.org Aliases: switzerland.indymedia.org Aliases: hamilton.indymedia.org Aliases: maritimes.indymedia.org Aliases: montreal.indymedia.org Aliases: ontario.indymedia.org Aliases: windsor.indymedia.org Aliases: bolivia.indymedia.org Aliases: brasil.indymedia.org Aliases: ecuador.indymedia.org Aliases: mexico.indymedia.org Aliases: atlanta.indymedia.org Aliases: austin.indymedia.org Aliases: boston.indymedia.org Aliases: chicago.indymedia.org Aliases: madison.indymedia.org Aliases: maine.indymedia.org Aliases: twincities.indymedia.org Aliases: minneapolis.indymedia.org Aliases: newjersey.indymedia.org Aliases: nycap.indymedia.org Aliases: nyc.indymedia.org Aliases: portland.indymedia.org Aliases: richmond.indymedia.org Aliases: rockymountain.indymedia.org Aliases: santacruz.indymedia.org Aliases: vermont.indymedia.org So most of the sites that censor heavily are physically located on one computer in NY/Boston. And they censor heavily. This (of course) does not imply that some of the other sites are not also censorship. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So lets hear it for R. Stallman, the champion of "free speech". -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
