IP logging is a sensitive subject. For legal reasons - to protect us from legal actions - IM will never admit to logging IP addresses. Sometimes it happens though, mostly for understandabale reasons Basically anyone with access to a server can log semi-identifiable information. It should never be admitted or used for argumentative advantage though.
Log addresses of IM posters IP addresses have been passed to the security services. I've experienced this personally. I have - but won't produce- witness statements from IM volunteers that back this up. I have more proof than that.
Still I have a problem though. Me and my family have suffered police harrassment from posts I am alleged to have made on IM. Contrarily I have met thousands of IM contributors and IMCistsa who broadened my view on life.
A Scottish IMCista call CH just identified a post I just made as one linked to another post made on the same computer I use as mine. The person who made that post is not me, nor do we hold similar views. But the IMCita, CH, said the posts were identifiably the same poster from the text posted.
I don't know who CH is but I'd rate their betrayal as worse than a concentration camp guards betrayal.
I would like a wider statement from the IM collective about collecting personal, private information and passing it onto the authorities.
