Can anyone make sense of this
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A1495-2004Oct27.html?nav=rss_technology
Apparently a group took photos of Swiss undercover police (who were taking photos of demonstrators) and posted them on their web site. The Swiss talked to the US who issued a soepena to the hosting company (Rackspace) in Texas. The next thing the servers have been physically removed from the server farm in Rackspace London.
Home Office spokeswoman Caroline Flint said, "I can confirm that no UK law enforcement agendas were involved in the matter referred to."
The servers are back now but some files are missing.
How in the name of our constitution (which in our case we do not have) can this happen. There is no mention of any UK court order in this story that i can find. Did Rackspace London really take down some servers on the basis of a US subpoena?
If anyone has any insights to this please share.
Bob
