The US has declared Autistici/Inventati, an Italian anarchist hacker (in the classic sense of the term) collective, a terrorist organization. https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sb0616/ But what you really ought to read is this article about A/I's history, and what this means https://web.archive.org/web/20260828071449/https://cavallette.noblogs.org/2026/08/10083/2 I'm concerned that the US government is starting to identify decentralized media infrastructure as a threat to its survival. Repost information about this broadly, and if you have media contacts, inform them of counter-narratives; there could come a time where the fediverse, or any decentralized network infrastructure, is a target as well if we don't sound the alarms now. EDIT: I linked to the wrong page! The second link is now fixed :) EDIT 2: A/I's domains have been revoked! So added an archive.org link

    I can’t access the site. Is it possible they have taken it down already. This is fu**ing crazy. Its censorship 100%.

    I’m not a lefty but this is pure abuse of power. Someone wakes up in the morning, decides you support terrorism and waves sanctions on you. Website is taken down immediately. The problem here is that the italian government is right wing so are not protesting. Not even leftwing parties are saying anything.

    Autistci was only providing anonimised means of comunication. I cannot believe we are having to suck this up and nobody is saying or doing anything. These bloody authoritariano governments are eroding democracy at a pace never seen before. If we don’t wake up and excercise our voting powers, we are doomed.

        I know my name, as unique as it is, is on the watch list. I’ll be in a camp before 2028, and it’ll be worth it.

    Not decentralized media per se so much as things it doesn’t control and cannot influence (tiktok for example). It’s about control. They need to have leverage whether it’s ability to arrest the CEO, harass for taxes, or videos of them abusing kids. A way to make them dance to the US tune and shut down those who wander too far from the preferred US narrative beyond approved levels of dissent.

    Using Turkey and Erdogan as a basis for this shit is heinous. The Kurds (PKK) were experiencing a genocide…not unlike the Palestinians currently impacted by second order effects from this action. This is explicit weaponization of the state in support of foreign powers/interests. Americans should be ashamed.
