City of London Police Take Down Proxy Service Over Piracy Concerns

Posted by samzenpus on from the shutting-it-down dept.

Mr_Silver writes TorrentFreak is reporting that the City of London Police (a private police force in government-backed livery with an authority that does not go beyond the corporate-controlled City of London area — so not to be confused with the Metropolitan Police) has seized control of a number of domains including Immunicity, a general proxy server that was set up as a censorship circumvention tool. This appears to be their next step after placing banner adverts on websites.

    City of London is not part of the UK, it has its own electoral system and its own government. Wrong! That police force answers to the City of London Corporation. No it doesn't! That police force is threatening the sovereignty of the UK and wider world. It isn't in anyway! So we need to take back the City of London from the corporate entity that controls it, and bring that police force back within the wider laws of the UK. You are a moron
