US Government designates host of noblogs.org a "global terrorist"
Points and comments are a snapshot, not live.
US designated Italian collective Autistici/Inventati as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist.
On August 26, 2026, the State Department added Autistici/Inventati, a volunteer-run provider of encrypted email and web hosting via noblogs.org, to the global terrorist list, citing "far-left" politics. The collective hosts roughly 16,000 mailboxes and 10,000 blogs. The Treasury bans all transactions with them starting September 25, 2026. Autistici/Inventati denies all allegations, affirming its dedication to free communication tools for activists. Critics argue the designation rests on false claims conflating Rose City Antifa with another group, and represents an effort to suppress dissident media.
What commenters are saying
Commenters overwhelmingly condemn the designation as an attack on anti-fascist research and free communication, with many seeing it as state repression serving far-right interests. Several note the irony of the US labeling a privacy-focused collective a terrorist while hosting actual neo-Nazis. One camp argues the move proves the US government is controlled by the ultra-rich, not voters. Others point out the State Department's claim about Rose City Antifa appears false, conflating it with a different project. Some commenters highlight the historical parallel to Nazi raids on dissident newspapers.
