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.
But then the EU has to take care of it. If we want IT independence and the US can ban any domain then it doesn’t matter what else we do. Or rather, I think we don’t actually aim for independence.
“We” as in Europeans? Or “we” as in the corrupt politicians with actual power? Not the same group of people, definitely not the same agenda.
