Italian technology collective Autistici/Inventati (A/I) said on Sunday it would shut down its services after a U.S. terrorism designation led to the suspension ​of its .org domain and the closure of its bank account.

The volunteer-run provider, founded in 2001, offers privacy-focused email, websites, mailing lists ​and blogging services to activists, campaigners and others seeking alternatives to ​commercial platforms.

    And they are also being targeted by US sponsored hackers so it’s impossibile to keep services up this way. I hope this is a wake up call for someone but I don’t think so.

      Sure… a call for our corrupt politicians to increase their prices because it again became a bit harder to sell us out without affecting public opinion. Not that they actually care about the latter, but getting reelected means getting paid by their actual employers longer.
