US designates 15-year-old Italian tech collective as terror organisation

 After a dedicated fifteen-year run, Autistici/Inventati, a volunteer-led refuge, has shut its doors due to U.S. terrorism designations that resulted in the suspension of its .org domain and the closure of its bank account. This decision has profound repercussions for the thousands dependent on their mailboxes, websites, and blogs, as the collective sought to protect users from potential legal fallout linked to their digital self-defense tools. After a dedicated fifteen-year run, Autistici/Inventati, a volunteer-led refuge, has shut its doors due to U.S. terrorism designations that resulted in the suspension of its .org domain and the closure of its bank account.
