Amsterdam server seized at request of U.S. authorities after “far left” allegations
Cosplaying to be anti “American Tech”, then kissing the empire hand for blessing.
This is called “neoliberal euro syndrome”.

What crime was committed?

Enjoying a succulent Chinese meal.
But, more seriously…
The seized server belongs to Italian internet provider Autistici/Inventati (A/I). Dutch police are creating a digital image of its data to hand over to U.S. authorities, as required under the American request for legal assistance.
For years, A/I offered free website hosting and email services to thousands of organizations. It attracted the attention of the Trump administration, which regards antifa as a terrorist organization. In late August, U.S. authorities also labeled A/I a terrorist organization, alleging that it had supported antifa. NRC described the move as exceptional, noting that internet service providers are not usually held liable for what their users do.
Just looks like they were hosting traffic that Trump decided to label as Antifa and therefore Terrorist. No indication of what that traffic actually was.

So destroying their org wasn’t enough. Kinda seems like they know somebody in that community has information they’re trying to control…

It might be, but if you trace this from earlier, then I don’t think they are after a specific someone.
they want data, anything that is not accessible for them before, they want to have it. i mean plantir or any other “mossad agency” is creating digital ID for everyone as we speak, big data llm is capable to identify who and where and what you are in seconds, as long as you feed it data.

I definitely concede there’s no way of knowing. And going for overkill fits the regime’s MO. Just felt odd, I guess, mainly because they have such an insane intelligence apparatus, actually.
Primarily they are after information on the groups opposing their far right buddies trying to seize control of europe. Maybe some specific stuff too, but I thought that was clear.

As required under fucking what?
Also, just to belabor the point, trump is Profa.

Dude what the fuck
Amsterdam, I am extremely disappointed.
Makes me wonder about startpage, the search engine.
