August 26th 2026:
Today, the Department of State, in partnership with the Department of the Treasury, is announcing the designation of Autistici/Inventati as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist.
I've not knowingly read a lot of stuff hosted by Autistici/Inventati (although there is at least one ultra-left group that posts on Libcom whose name eludes me that has their site there). However the groups also seems to have hosted NoBlogs, which is a site that crops up reasonably frequently.
The link above is also clearly an attempt to criminalise a wide range of groups including Rose City Antifa and various european direct action groups, including those claiming responsibility for sabotaging high speed railways in France and elsewhere.
The collective have published a statement here:

Today we were made aware that the US Government has targeted a small, volunteer-run, technology collective from Italy with disproportionate sanctions as anyone can read in the Treasury Department Statement, the State Department Statement and the related Executive Order.
We deny all allegations included in the statements, while we strongly affirm our dedication to providing a platform of tools for digital self-defense, addressing the need of free communication for activists and other individuals, groups and associations.
We will not back down, we will keep doing what we have been doing all these years and we will do whatever is in our possibility to counter the false allegations made by a politically desperate administration with the sole intention of swaying people and media attention away from their own violence and warmongering.
Antifascism and anticapitalism are not terrorism. Protesting is not terrorism. And everyone has the right to speak out and to struggle for humanity.
