Amsterdam Police Seize Server of Italian Provider A/I at U.S. Request Over Antifa Allegations
Seized server Autistici/Inventati (A/I) in Amsterdam for U.S. authorities
Dutch police seized a server from Italian internet provider Autistici/Inventati (A/I) in Amsterdam on Tuesday, acting on a U.S. legal assistance request. The U.S. had labeled A/I a terrorist organization for allegedly supporting antifa, leading the volunteer-run service to disband. Police are imaging the server's data for transfer to U.S. authorities, though the specific data remains undisclosed.
NRC described the move as exceptional, noting that internet service providers are not usually held liable for what their users do.
