Please see the info I posted at that link for why the information is gathered. I have no idea why the article got hidden, unless it's because it attracted some barmy trolls going on about the Illuminati in the comments.

As the info on TrapWire (and the DDoS attack on wikileaks for initially revealing it) is all over the mainstream news now it's kind of irrelevant that it got censored on Indymedia.

For any schnews people: no offence was intended by posting your mischievous page on the best way to deal with CCTV cameras as a 'homepage' link.

Thanks, that was interesting to read, no hard feelings here.

There are still angry discussions going on about whether the Slate and also recent New York Times pieces downplaying TrapWire are state-sponsored whitewashes - see  http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/14/us/trapwire-antiterrorist-software-leaks-set-off-web-furor.html?_r=1 then  http://occupysavvy.com/2012/08/14/deconstructing-the-new-york-times-trapwire-whitewash-please-reblog/

For evidence suggesting TrapWire's extensive use in the UK which might explain why that software is used at Yarls Wood, please see  http://dazzlepod.com/gifiles/3455249/ for one of the most infamously obnoxious and money-grubbing emails released a few days ago.

"Cash should begin to flow to Abraxas within 10 days. As many of you old-timers know, we
arranged to get a cut. I think the first dump is $250,000 to Abraxas,
with an annual renewal of $150,000 per year for the TrapWire license.
The point man for the project worked directly for me at DPS. Abraxas
has done work already pro-bono as good will. TrapWire may be the most
successful invention on the GWOT since 9-11. I knew these hacks when
they were GS-12's at the CIA. God Bless America. Now they have EVERY
major HVT in CONUS, the UK, Canada, Vegas, Los Angeles, NYC as clients."

Wikileaks is still down under unprecedented and of course entirely coincidental DDOS attack since the release of the emails. Mirrors of the emails do exist eg at dazzlepod.

"3 minutes is a very short space of time to find and repost a response but
maybe a troll was sitting there wirh it ready looking to start off a spate
of dodgy CT posts to discredit the site, and just added it to that when it
appeared......"

"TrapWire constantly monitors social media. In a strange twist of fate, the company that developed TrapWire also works on something called ‘sock-puppet’ programs. These are projects designed to create thousands of fake personas on social media. We will turn this idea and software against them, creating thousands of phony accounts and use them to produce a deluge of false triggers for the TrapWire program – essentially drowning it in ‘white noise."

Sorry if I am being a nuisance with this geeky shit but I think activists who are not hacktivists should be aware of this stuff.
