linksunten.indymedia is a widely known platform of the German Antifa. During the most recent weeks many texts glorifying or whitewashing the Hamburg G20 riots were published there. Texts can be submitted by any anonymous person, however the website owners decide whether they leave it online or not – so there is reason to see responsibility under law.
I wouldn't be surprised either if it becomes accessible again just after the German federal elections in 4 weeks.

- hedgedoops2 9y agoI remember that during G20, some grandstanders set fire to some cables in the Berlin S-Bahn system, disrupting train service for a day. They then claimed responsibility with a letter on linksunten. [1] Thing is, the comments on linksunten were uniformly condemning of the letter and the act. Yet still by sympathizers, not outsiders coming to the site. I'd link to the web archive version but the only thing the crawler was able to retrieve was a 'DDOS protection for civil society' banner [2]. "Antifa" is a bogeyman currently, imo.
