[IMC-US] indymedia.us fbi subpoena story (which we can talk about now!)

[Mike Shushan]

Hello john,

speaking of ip logs, is there any issue with cookies?  Phillyimc has about 8 different cookies on the site as well as a couple on the home page from youtube as well as a cookie originating from aaroncouch.info

It's possible that imc's may have identifiable ip logs on these other site.  Is there a way to protect imc visitors from being logged by these other sites?

-Mike
