Never heard of A/I and I have no idea what they are about, but rather than a government communication this statement reads like an angry rant with lots of unhelpful name-calling. I would expect a government to be professional and just stick to the (proven) facts and avoiding labels; that would also be more convincing. Oh well.

Remember this is the Trump administration. I think your expectations might be a bit high.

This is the new Republican mainstream, the same mainstream that brings us AI generated videos of the Obamas as apes. They have no shame and are likely irredeemable (certainly their behavior is inexcusable). And ultimately these statements aren't for the normal citizens. They're for the truly strange, the racists, and the trolls.

Wait this is not true. I’m truly neutral here. The site lists actual terror attacks where the tools were used. That’s pretty damning if accurate. Anyone care to comment on that? I’m not well informed but the statement does not look like just straight up name calling.

  Has any terrorist group ever used Gmail to communicate?

    Is Gmail used for anything else? Lots, right? Now, what about A/I group? Ah… well, there is your answer.

      > Now, what about A/I group? Yes, in my local food distribution networks here in France, quite a few people had autistici emails registered on our mailing list. Don't talk about something you don't know like you do and you're smarter than anyone.

        lol, it’s sort of pathetic to cover for a terrorist group with ”but they run a mailing list”. No one is buying that. I’m sure their helpful functions will be picked up by another group that wants to do good work without USAID money.

Really? > The anarchist cells responsible for sabotaging rail systems across France, Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands in 2026, relied on A/I Collective tools and services to claim responsibility for the attacks, publish official communiqués, and disseminate manuals for constructing improvised incendiary devices to target railways and other critical infrastructure. > The anarchist cell responsible for sabotaging the Transalpine Pipeline (TAL) in March 2026, which temporarily halted crude oil flows to Austria, Germany, and the Czech Republic, relied on A/I Collective tools and services to claim responsibility for the attack and publish official communiqués, as well as to disseminate a manifesto calling for additional attacks on critical infrastructure and referring adherents to another A/I Collective platform, which provides detailed sabotage manuals as well as maps of vulnerable critical infrastructure across North America. > The far-left extremist network responsible for multiple arson attacks and acts of sabotage against Germany’s rail and energy infrastructure between 2011 and 2026, including a January 2026 attack on Berlin’s power grid that cut power to 45,000 households and resulted in a fatality, relied on A/I Collective tools and services to claim responsibility for attacks, publish official communiques, and disseminate a manifesto calling for additional attacks on energy infrastructure worldwide. Seems quite specific to me.

  Well, the far left extremists also used ISPs, mobile phones, energy infrastructure to do this. Are those terrorist organizations too? Moreover, ask yourself: why hasn't Germany accused A/I of being co-responsible of the attacks?

  They also probably used Signal for comms, and it's safe to assume some of them used protonmail. And maybe they used a Google camera for taking photos of their acts. By the same logic, what prevents US from labelling Signal, Proton, and Google as ones supporting terrorist organizations?

The entire current US Administration has adopted the grievance rhetoric of its chief executive because the alternative is expulsion.
