A/I shuts down - Stay human

Sun, 06 Sep 2026 15:16:00 +0200

The day we discovered we had been designated a global terrorist organization, we promised that we would try to resist as long as this was possible, that we would not back down as long as we could see options to stand our ground. For years, we have proudly maintained and defended a free, privacy-friendly, autonomous and politically committed infrastructure.

“Stay human” is not an empty phrase to us.

It means, above all, that we have a responsibility to protect our users, those who build the human networks we rely, and for the communities who flooded us with messages of support and solidarity.

Banca etica shuts down A/I funds

Sat, 05 Sep 2026 11:15:00 +0200

Autistici/Inventati’s Press Release, 5 September 2026

On Friday, September 4th, Banca Etica met the AI ODV association in a videocall and told us that they are going to shut down our bank account unilaterally, thus terminating our contract for good, and that the funds still on the account, which we raised through donations from thousands of people, organizations and collectives, will not be at the association’s disposal.

Banca Etica has been spending many words to justify their actions and pretend they are on our side, but their actions counter all of their statements, clearly showing how they are just faithful servants of the US autocrat.

Frequently Asked Questions (August 2026)

Wed, 02 Sep 2026 13:11:00 +0200

Here are some of the questions we’re asked most often these days, we’ll try to answer point by point.

Can I access my email?

Yes: the webmail interface is accessible via https://www.inventati.org. POP/IMAP clients can also connect using the new connection parameters (which have been updated with new servers to use).

The autistici.org domain however is no longer reachable worldwide, after the recent events.

I have an @autistici.org email, can I receive and send email?

Now that the autistici.org domain has been completely blocked, it’s impossible to receive or send any new mail using an address on that domain (except from/to other A/I accounts).

Many things happened since August 26, 2026, when the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) at the US Department of the Treasury included us in their list of “Specially Designated Global Terrorists” (SDGT). This is just the beginning.

On August 28 our autistici.org domain was wiped from the face of Earth.

Bear in mind: all of this happened without A/I committing any crime, neither in Italy nor in the US, and without any prosecutor ever indicting us either for felonies or for misdemeanors.

Open Letter

Defend Autistici/Inventati and the right to build resistant communication

On August 26, 2026, the United States designated the Italian volunteer technology collective Autistici/Inventati as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist and placed it on the Specially Designated Nationals list under Executive Order 13224. A temporary authorization covering certain wind-down transactions ends at 12:01 a.m. Eastern on September 25.

Autistici/Inventati has provided noncommercial email, websites, mailing lists, Noblogs and other communications services since 2001. It emerged from Italian hacklabs, autonomous media and social movements. Its infrastructure was built in response to censorship, covert surveillance and server seizures. It minimizes identifying data, uses distributed systems and treats privacy as a condition of political participation rather than a product.

“The structure of power behaves like a spider that weaves its web to catch and immobilize insects; but those very insects, moving along the threads of the same web, can use it from below as a tool to connect with one another, to communicate and to organize their liberation.”

Aldo Braibanti

There was a dream, in the beginning. The net as a horizontal space, as a fabric of non-hierarchical connections, where knowledge circulated freely and voices did not need permission to be heard. The dream became reality, and then something broke. From two sides, simultaneously.

Noblogs status update

Sat, 29 Aug 2026 15:26:00 +0200

On August 28, 2026, someone managed to gain access to the noblogs.org platform as a privileged user, exploiting a vulnerability in the software we use to provide the platform.

The access lasted for about two hours, during which the homepage of noblogs.org was changed, and we cannot rule out that the attacker may have had access to the users’ database, which contains the list of email addresses of the people who manage the blogs and their passwords (not in plain text).

Press Release

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 09:00:00 +0200

1. Quick summary

On August 26, 2026, the U.S. Department of the Treasury, through OFAC (Office of Foreign Assets Control – the authority responsible for managing and enforcing economic and financial sanctions) sanctioned Autistici/Inventati (A/I), an Italian collective that has been providing digital infrastructure – email, hosting, mailing lists, chat, videoconferencing, streaming, and services related to privacy and anonymity – to movements and activists since 2001. Washington designated it as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT), alleging that it has provided financial, material or technological support to terrorism and to organizations already subjected to sanctions. A/I rejects the allegations and declares that its activities consist in providing tools for digital self-defence and infrastructure for the freedom of communication.

Statement by A/I COLLECTIVE about US sanctions

Wed, 26 Aug 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Today we were made aware that the US Government has targeted a small, volunteer-run, technology collective from Italy with disproportionate sanctions as anyone can read in the Treasury Department Statement, the State Department Statement and the related Executive Order.

We deny all allegations included in the statements, while we strongly affirm our dedication to providing a platform of tools for digital self-defense, addressing the need of free communication for activists and other individuals, groups and associations.
