The State Department doesn’t accuse Autistici/Inventati of doing anything more than providing surveillance-free email accounts. But that’s enough to declare it a terrorist organization.

    This is great marketing for Autistici/Inventati by Rubio.

    Edit: also, after reading the article, how long before they come for the Lemmy software and Lemmy instances?

    The State Department’s announcement, meanwhile, blames Autistici/Inventati for allowing one of its users “to publish official communiqués and calls to action for U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organizations,” naming Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

    Another Edit: don’t those communiqués also get published on twitter?

    I’m hearing a lot of people in the States are pissed at the Republicans over data centers. Hopefully, that results in all these fucks losing their seat at the next election.

    pls make 🗃️s 1st.

    The U.S. State Department and U.S. Treasury placed the anarchist-aligned Italian tech support collective Autistici/Inventati on the “specially designated global terrorist” list on Wednesday. This designation makes it illegal for Americans to engage in any “transactions” with Autistici/Inventati
    […]
    Autistici/Inventati offers free email accounts, web hosting, videoconferencing, and other communications services on request to those who can demonstrate need and “share our principles of anti-fascism, anti-racism, anti-sexism, anti-homophobia, anti-transphobia, and anti-militarism.” Unlike commercial email providers, Autistici/Inventati stores only the bare minimum of user data and doesn’t peek into users’ inboxes, making it appealing to “paranoids,” as the group describes itself.

    Now I know which service to sign up to!

      Don’t be stupid. If you are an American be very careful. This has the possibility to connect you to “terrorists” and give the government enough to go after you. Who knows for sure but be careful out there folks.

        im not saying theres no risk but they are going after the infrastructure not people using it (which they use as excuse), it looks like setting stage for weaponizing this law when elections come and people organize peaceful protests against the government

        Please take a look at my bio b4 u respond.
        I am not fond of Nazis.
        ⅔ of the planet is antifascists. So if you think using a privacy respecting service is “terrorism,” I suggests you cease interactions with me.
        I have insecure 📧 to send. So buzz off if otherwise.

      Sounds to me like this company would be susceptible to a group talking trash about you to get them to cancel you, even if it’s not true.

      These types of left political type companies can’t be trusted unfortunately. They are picked on and over correct for it on their users for start, for another, the left are fucking sheep being played like a fiddle by the oligarchs at this moment in time.

      They would character assassinate you if you pissed off someone like Israel, and this company would take the word of the proxies talking shit, I strongly presume.

        I love it when people are honest about being enormous pieces of shit. Thanks for making it easy to trim the blatant trolls from my feed. Going through your post history, I find it hard to believe people this dumb really exist in the world so I choose to believe you are either 11 years old or a Russian troll. Again, thanks for making it easy on me. I appreciate you being so awful that you are an automatic block.

        Is there a reason authoritarians are attracted to libel, that you have to interact with my post, about my decision to use them for my email needs? Buzz off if you’re not providing me far far left internet services. I have a «Do Not Interact» in my bio.

          I stopped reading after your half baked accusation. Who gives a fuck what you think by the way? Please don’t tell me what to do, I don’t give a fuck what you think, with your defective reasoning.
