So yeah, antifascism is now terrorism according to the US gov.
Their website and mailing server has been taken down in Europe, too now.
Are they still willing to kiss his ass, or does the USA have the power to do that globally?

Only yesterday most DNS services allowed it (OpenNIC, NextDNS, and the big ones).
Now they all return this:

Check out these links, it’s bad:

clientTransferProhibited https://icann.org/epp#clientTransferProhibited
serverTransferProhibited https://icann.org/epp#serverTransferProhibited
serverUpdateProhibited https://icann.org/epp#serverUpdateProhibited

One can log a complaint here but all the form links resolve to my.site.com. Which is invalid.

Question

Where (in Europe or globally) can I log a complaint resp. protest?


What is autistici.org

It’s the Italian volunteer technology collective Autistici/Inventati. Has been around for decades.

There’s been some reports on the fediverse during the past days, and personally I’ve been using them for years. Among other things they provide free email accounts for people who ask.

And of course their own blog post about it:

edit1:
Since their registrar is Gandi, I think it makes sense to log a complaint with them even if they aren’t ultimately responsible:

    So how do you get to their website without DNS? Does anyone remember the IP? Do they have a .onion URL?

      Don’t remember neither numerical IP nor .onion. Would be good to know.

      But neither would help very much because I cannot use my (secondary) mail account anymore. This has been very useful in the past - well, over 10 years.

    I think if you dig a little deeper you will find the issue is not quite so black-and-white.

      being placed on the terrorist organizations list along daesh and alqaeda looks pretty black and white to me. There should be a wide spectrum including “organization whose activities/(h)activism/humanitarian support indirectly happens to help terrorist group, along lots of other causes”.

        The government is not treating any and all representations of “antifascism” as terrorism now, they are targeting this one single website because there is evidence that they knowingly provide services to some existing groups that were already deemed terrorists.

        If there’s any debate about whether or not those groups should have been deemed terrorists in the first place, that’s a different issue altogether as far as enforcing the law is concerned.
