[Imc-sydney] German IndyMedia

[diet simon]

Folks,

some advice please.

The group running the German IndyMedia are a bunch of censors.

For example - one of hundreds in my dealings with them over the years - the 
"Sign to stop another Burma massacre" we run at 
http://sydney.indymedia.org.au/ they dismiss as spam and took out after I 
posted it. At least a dozen other IMCs, including the 'mother', are running 
it.

I could cite hundreds of examples where they have been most undemocratic and 
have run the site like their personal property, pandering to their 
particular obsessions, for example anti-fascism; every piddling little 
street brawl about that gets covered.

The group has nowhere near the international solidarity 'let's help where we 
can' approach that is the lifeblood of the IndyMedia movement.

I want them to be warned that their right to call themselves IndyMedia will 
be taken away from them if they don't change.

Is there any instance, committee, governing body, adjudicator, conflict 
resolution panel anywhere in the movement who can take such action, after 
hearing both sides, of course? Or is IndyMedia not a protected brand?

I have copied this to three people at IndyMedia Germany.
