@liaizon @mro My source is what Geert Lovink sent to the Nettime mailing list:

Autistici/Inventati the Italian activist server/mail provider with servers in NL, has been added to the terrorist list by the US yesterday. Last night, American authorities removed their domain name from ICANN, the internet organisation that manages the .org domains in the world (an organization that is quasi-neutral but US based and in the hands of Trump authorities). The server, www.autistici.org http://www.autistici.org/, is now blocked. You can still read more information about it here: https://www.inventati.org/. […]

You have probably heard about the US regime's crackdown on the Italian IT collective Autistici/Inventati (@cavallette). Someone wrote down what it means and what can be done about it: https://www.wewillfreeus.org/the-server-called-paranoia-defend-autistici-inventati-before-september-25/ (thanks to @geertlovink and @liaizon for the link).

I first met A/I people in Florence when I attended the first European Social Forum in 2002. They provided a room full of computers with Internet access so that the grassroots press could report on the event. Great, friendly people.

Now the supposedly independent ICANN has destroyed the domain autistici.org and might do the same with https://inventati.org soon. A/I will lose their bank accounts etc. The same could happen to all of us who are not fascists. This is the time for solidarity.

Update: Organisations can now sign an open letter in support of A/I: https://www.wewillfreeus.org/open-letter-communications-infrastructure-is-not-terrorism/ (via https://kolektiva.social/@alissaazar/117175211728150071 )
