    Recently the Independent Media Center of Seattle (there are many of them) 
    was slapped with a gag order and subpoena courtesy of the FBI:

    Now it's reportedly happened to the IMC of Ohio, over a short but rambling 
    post that talked about "witless protection program if I were you so give my 
    regards to the fucking bumbling idiots of the FBI."
    
    I've mirrored the message in question in case it disappears:

    Declan,
    Law enforcement seems to have taken an increased interest
    in the Indymedia group lately.
    Anyway the Ohio valley IMC has been subpoenaed by Ohio
    authorities.
    The URL for the subpoena is here:

    Ohio valley Imc says they don't keep their IP logs
    the URL for that is here:
