I had no idea what this is, Google said:

> Autistici/Inventati provides internet support to activists and collectives coming from the world of grassroot and social movements.

US administration says:

> https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sb0616

> ... an Italy-based entity that supplies specialized digital architecture, tools, and services for Antifa cells and other violent far-left extremists ...

> Currently we face three major types of terror groups:

> • Violent Left-Wing Extremists, including Anarchists and Anti-Fascist

It's wild that we've hit a point where the existence of Right-Wing Extremists is simply denied.

From 2020:

> First, right-wing attacks and plots accounted for the majority of all terrorist incidents in the United States since 1994. In particular, they made up a large percentage of incidents in the 1990s and 2010s. Second, the total number of right-wing attacks and plots has grown substantially during the past six years.

Those are largely domestic, though some have quiet foreign support. And there’s no law for designating domestic groups as terrorist. The FBI does a ton of work here though

MrGilbert•20m ago

Not sure I understand you correctly, but in the "United States Counterterrorism Strategy 2026", they are explicitly called out as being domestic:

> Additionally, we recognize that a new type of domestic terrorism has emerged, driven by violent extremists who have adopted ideologies antithetical to freedom and the American way of life.

I would read that as an endorsement by omission. Maybe too conspiratorial? I'll accept criticism, but it definitely smells like implication (especially given the hard right-turn ICE took in their choices of "apparel").

whoo hooo, I've had an unused account there. guess I'm on yet another list, woe betide me.

lol. In case you didn’t notice, dissent is terrorism, failure to kiss the ring is treason, and if you want to play in the US market there are some cryptocurrency purchases you might want to do, as a hedge against unfavorable tariffs. Also, for only 100KUSD you can join the official US insider trading chat.

I wish any of this was an exaggeration.

So the US government now owns all emails coming into accounts on this domain.

idiotsecant•32m ago

Once again, the crime is providing encrypted email accounts, chat and video conferencing.

Uncle Sam really, really, really wants to terrify as many providers are possible into letting them peek into your personal correspondence.

This is why decentralized end to end encryption methods are so important

Everybody and their grandmother uses their services. Are you organizing a non-profit rehearsal space? Create a mailing list there.

This is grim.

I guess this only works because those are foreign servers so freedom of speech does not apply but Italy is doing their bidding?

What do we do now it's becoming clear that ICANN can't be trusted?

progval•11m ago

ICANN can't suspend second-level domains, this is up to the owner of .org (the Public Interest Registry) or the registrar of the particular domain (Gandi).
