[Imc-uk-process] Re: Imc-uk-process Digest, Vol 18, Issue 3

[Tony Gosling]

Blanket rules for hiding! This is plain silly, and lazy
The proposed new rule includes hiding addresses of directors of coca-cola 
where a protest is happening.
?!?!?!

If information is in the public domain elsewhere- ie through companies' house
Its crazy for Indymedia to hide it

Don't make a blanket rule for every person
You have to decide on each case and it must be an accountable hiding 
decision which people can appeal
