[imc-sheffield] [FEAT] Gateway 303: Police Disinformation on UK Indymedia

[anargeek]

Hi

Here is a new version of the 303 feature posted about yesterday:

  Gateway 303: Police Disinformation on UK Indymedia

  In the wake of the outing of 4 undercover police infiltrators into the
  UK activist scene, SchNews, have broken a story about police posts to
  Indymedia. For over two years suspected police articles and comments
  have been tracked by filters that are triggered by matching IP
  addresses, the first comment tracked in this manner dates from August
  2008 and the last from January 2011. It is hoped that the full lists
  of articles and comments will soon be published. A feature article
  about the abuse has now been published by Birmingham Indymedia, this
  feature article, first started in in December 2009, has been the
  subject of a huge amount of internal discussion within UK Indymedia
  and has been one of the reasons behind the decision to fork the
  project. Sheffield Indymedia supports the use of anti-abuse features
  to track and remove disinformation from the site and long argued for
  the feature article exposing the state abuse to be published.

It's a real relief to finally be able to publically admit that all this
shit has been going on for years... :-)

All the best
