The Independent Media Center is reporting that its internet service provider Rackspace has handed over two of its servers after a U.S. governmental agency ordered the company to hand over the servers. The seized servers affected about 20 of Indymedia’s sites including thos in Italy, Brazil, Britain and France. Rackspace has told members of the Indymedia network that a gag order prevented it from saying why the servers were seized. The incident marks the second time in the last two months that the federal government has attempted to crack down on the Indymedia network. In August the US Secret Service used a subpoena before the Republican National Convention in order to trying to get information about who posted an article to the site that include publicly available information about Republican delegates.
