“20,000 mail accounts. 20,000 blogs. 5,000 mailing lists. 1,500 websites.

In Europe.

Run by volunteers of @cavallette, perfectly legal, and decidedly antifascist, feminist, queer.

Destroyed and shut down by Trump's administration, extra legally.”

If you ever need to give a reason for refusing to use email, add this to the list of possible reasons.

could be a reason for taking the analog path

I've switched to analog a few years ago. But they will come after analog means of communication the moment they finish destroying online privacy. it's already started.

    Well I agree that there are two assaults going on:

    1. assault on privacy
    2. assault on analog (aka forced digital transformation, to use European nomenclature)

    But they will have more success reversing the order. The GDPR is a façade to comfort people as they get cattle-herded into a fully digital lifestyle. Then after analog mechanisms are ruined, only then will the privacy abuse come full force. Most people have not noticed that the GDPR is not really being enforced. It’s just a show.

    If things happened in the reverse order, too many people would fight the forced digital transformation.

    Designating them as a terrorist group was several steps above mere 'bullying'.

    Indeed it is the most obnoxiously hostile act somewhere between bullying and license to kill bounty. I would like to know how the system works because certainly the US is not the only player.

    Is it really a case where Trump can willy nilly list whoever he wants, and all allies are obligated to obey without question? Is there no mechanism by which Italy or the UN can say “hold on, we are not going to accept Trump tagging his political adversaries as terrorists and then lick boots unconditionally”? Anti-terror policy is losing legitimacy with every abuse of it, including Trump’s assassination of drug dealers under the abusive claim of “narco-terrorism”.
