Indymedia servers in the US and UK confiscated by the FBI!
Yesterday, US authorities issued a court order to Rackspace, a web hosting provider, to physically remove Global Indymedia servers in the US and UK. The agency requesting the seizure was the FBI. This has affected approximately 20 Indymedia sites around the world. This seizure of Indymedia’s hardware is a direct attack on civil liberties, the right to free speech, and a not-so-subtle attempt at internet censorship.
