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 certainly didn't know about them before this. 😁

Imagine having three year on your lemmy account and just realizing you are on lemmy.

Vibe.

??? "Them" being Autistici/Inventati of course.

[-] Cricket@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

I had heard the name before, but it certainly hadn't made an impression on me until now. Please see my edit to my previous post too.

if they come after lemmy i bet it would be on instance admins of instances promoting anticapitalism and hating on Trump, and the devs, or just go after ActivityPub devs and force github/gitlab to remove all related repos, not so far fetched to happen considering the list of United States government online resource removals under the second Trump administration and now this

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.

[-] bedwyr@piefed.ca 13 points 1 month ago

The democrats are all in on data centers too. Or should I say the controlled opposition.

I’ll forgive you for being misinformed, but aint happening. ⅓ of only votes by ✉️. The other ⅓ will be intimidated to show up. The last ⅓ are Republicans.

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.

[-] atmothin@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

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

[-] waltersf@bookwyr.me 3 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] gibmiser@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Sounds like you either have a chip on your shoulder or cant read well, but i am saying the government, not i, will call you a terrorist and use that to target you.

But sure, rage against allies. Whatever.

[-] waltersf@bookwyr.me 2 points 1 month ago

The government called its civilians terrorists 50 years ago. Keep up boomer. You’ve been a naughty terrorist before you were born.
