Less than two weeks after the US government of Donald Trump classified the Italian hacktivist group Autistici/Inventati (A/I) as a global terrorist group, it is giving up and closing all services offered so far. A/I announced this over the weekend, stating that every day they had held out since the decision from Washington had been a victory: “But now we are forced to stop.” According to the US Department of State, Autistici/Inventati most recently hosted 16,000 email accounts, 1500 websites, 5500 mailing lists, and 10,000 blogs; the collective itself also points to video conferencing and streaming services. All of this will now be shut down, including the platform NoBlogs.org. A community of thousands is affected.
A/I was founded in 2001 with the stated goal of enabling people to communicate freely over the internet. Those who used the services must, according to the terms of use, share the “anti-fascism, anti-racism, anti-sexism, anti-homophobia, anti-transphobia, and anti-militarism” principles of the collective. Furthermore, the services could not be used for commercial or religious purposes or for the benefit of political parties. In return, those responsible assured that they would only keep minimal data for troubleshooting and would not store any personal data. Overall, the services were non-commercial, and A/I was financed through donations.
The US Department of State has justified the classification of Autistici/Inventati as “globally operating terrorists” by stating that the organization “builds and operates the digital infrastructure for violent Antifa cells and other far-left militants across the world.” The “radical hackers and developers” would provide an extensive range of services, “including encrypted chats and email, web hosting, secure video conferencing and streaming, anonymity shields, and a suite of other technological tools.” Autistici/Inventati has rejected the accusations and stated, “Antifascism and anticapitalism are not terrorism.” Everyone has the right to stand up and fight for humanity.
