U.S. sanctions Autistici/Inventati tech collective for terrorism links
The United States has designated the Italy-based technology collective Autistici/Inventati (also known as the A/I Collective) as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT). The decision, announced by the State Department and supported by Treasury Department actions, aims to disrupt digital infrastructure used by far-left violent extremist groups.
Autistici/Inventati provides encrypted communications, web hosting, and anonymity services. The U.S. government reports the collective manages approximately 16,000 mailboxes, 1,500 websites, 5,500 mailing lists, and 10,000 blogs. The State Department identified Portland-based Rose City Antifa and Jane’s Revenge as users of this infrastructure, noting that these tools enable groups to coordinate protests, disseminate propaganda, and plan operations while remaining untraceable.
In addition to the A/I Collective, the U.S. Treasury sanctioned Palestine Action, a UK-based organization, and the transnational group Masar Badil. The sanctions freeze assets and prohibit all transactions within U.S. jurisdiction. The State Department also noted links between the collective’s user base and designated terrorist entities such as Hamas and Hezbollah.
