The Server Called Paranoia: Defend Autistici/Inventati
- phyzome 21d agoWild stuff. Look at the US State Department's accusations, which honestly read like an ad at first: « A/I’s cadre of radical hackers and tech developers provide a full spectrum of services – including encrypted chats and email, web hosting, secure video conferencing and streaming, anonymity shields, and a suite of other technological tools – to Marxist, anarchist, and other left-wing extremist groups in the United States, Europe, and elsewhere. » https://www.state.gov/releases/office-of-the-spokesperson/2026/08/designation-of-autistici-inventati-as-a-specially-designated-global-terrorist/ https://www.state.gov/releases/office-of-the-spokesperson/20... Marxists, having video chats! Terrifying! And for that, they're branded as terrorists, and anyone in the US supporting them could (theoretically) get charged with a federal crime. Hopefully this gets knocked down by courts, but the chilling effects are severe. Anyway, this is clearly the start of some really nasty attacks on decentralized communication infrastructure.
