Autistici/Inventati's main .org domain goes dark after US terrorism designation
Autistici/Inventati, an Italian collective providing privacy-focused communication tools, lost its main domain autistici.org and mail server mail.autistici.org, making all mailboxes unreachable. The outage follows a US terrorism designation. The collective is working on instructions for users to regain email access.
Some hours ago the domain autistici.org became unreachable.

I had no idea what this is, Google said:
> Autistici/Inventati provides internet support to activists and collectives coming from the world of grassroot and social movements.
US administration says:
> https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sb0616
> ... an Italy-based entity that supplies specialized digital architecture, tools, and services for Antifa cells and other violent far-left extremists ...
