So yeah, antifascism is now terrorism according to the US gov.
Their website and mailing server has been taken down in Europe, too now.
Are they still willing to kiss his ass, or does the USA have the power to do that globally?
Only yesterday most DNS services allowed it (OpenNIC, NextDNS, and the big ones).
Now they all return this:

Check out these links, it's bad:

clientTransferProhibited https://icann.org/epp#clientTransferProhibited
serverTransferProhibited https://icann.org/epp#serverTransferProhibited
serverUpdateProhibited https://icann.org/epp#serverUpdateProhibited
One can log a complaint here but all the form links resolve to my.site.com. Which is invalid.
Question
Where (in Europe or globally) can I log a complaint resp. protest?
What is autistici.org
It's the Italian volunteer technology collective Autistici/Inventati. Has been around for decades.
There's been some reports on the fediverse during the past days, and personally I've been using them for years. Among other things they provide free email accounts for people who ask.

And of course their own blog post about it:

edit1:
Since their registrar is Gandi, I think it makes sense to log a complaint with them even if they aren't ultimately responsible:
abuse@support.gandi.net
https://helpdesk.gandi.net/hc/en-us/requests/new
https://opennic.org/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_DNS_root
OpenNIC also blocks autistici.org.
Yeah, it's bad.
I was told these services get lists from ICANN without checking them. Although the wikipedia article suggests OpenNIC has its own, different root?
I do hope manual intervention is possble, otherwise Trump has the whole WWW by the balls.
Hmmm then they are not as independent as one would think of them. Do we know who is funding opennic?
Yeah because they refer to the same ICANN root servers for the ICANN root domains. The point of an alternative DNS root is that they can provide their own specific top-level domains, so sites that are targeted by this kind of censorship can register a domain in an OpenNIC managed TLD and then they are only subject to moderation by OpenNIC instead of ICANN.
