"This is bizarre. What could possibly have set him off about Italian programmers?"

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

"I forgort that privacy is terrorism. Sometimes I like to pretend we aren't in clown world."

Our principles are fairly straightforward: the world should not be run on money, should be rooted in solidarity, community, mutual help, equal rights and freedom, and social justice.

That's not "Europe slowly moving off US software". Projects like these exist to protect against European state repression, as they exist to protect against any state repression, period. I'd also bet, that their thinking wasn't "we need a European alternative, so the USA can't spy on us". So yes, it's great, there are other projects similar to this one in other countries, as well, but your take doesn't make much sense.

Those are two separate things. European companies and governments move from Teams/OneDrive to Nextcloud, and stuff like that.

But autistici/inventati is intended for activists, not the general public, and as they mention not for companies either.

I can’t reach that server from the USA. The Great American Firewall has begun. I hate this shitty country.

Bizarre, the link will just not load for me. Tried VPN, different DNS, no dice.

Soon, yes. They will make some law, that will force you to use either big tech's stuff or not use tech at all for "safety" reasons, or you get sent to Bobby's wellness camps for forced labor for big tech.

You are now

it's very comparable to rise up, in that you gotta bring your own savvy about email encryption etc.

they do vett though

Ya this seems kinda streissandish

Anyways in the US Section 230 of whatever law prevents companies and organizations from being liable for content users post to their websites. How is this any different than FB hosting the breeding grounds for Proud Boys et al, other than them not being a US company and them being leftist-aligned?

This is the equivalent of blaming Dewalt for manufacturing angle grinders, simply because a bike thief bought and used one to steal yours.

There have been no rail system sabotages in 2026 in the Netherlands.

I'd argue it doesn't matter. If they offer e2ee email, they can't be aware of the content of any messages exchanged.

Unless they were informed one of their email accounts belonged to someone convicted of committing an actual act of domestic terror, they would be completely in the dark about who's using their email services.

Given its this US state department issuing the statement, I wouldn't believe any accusation leveled at all without proof. I'd need to see evidence that A/I knowingly provided services to a convicted domestic terrorist for me to believe this is anything other than trying to stamp out E2EE.

I speak to a friend about antifascism as we take the subway to the job. That absolutely makes the subway a terrorist organization!!!!!! Thank your for your attention to this matter. SDF User Not‑yet‑President lambalicious (verified™).

These sabotages had been so inconsequential that I had not even hear about them. On the other hand...

This might be controversial, but I find that protesting the environmental damage of western industrialization by attacking public transport... Is a very special type is stupid.

I don't know, but the people making this charge routinely deflect any criticism about the manufacture and sale of guns in the USA by stating that guns are just tools and it's individuals who commit crimes, not the tools they use or create.

Hypocrisy in the Republican party is not a bug, it's a feature.
