edit/solution:
Several people claim PIR, the US organisation that manages the .org TLD, for being ultimately responsible.
They have a contact form on their website: https://pir.org/contact/
We should pepper them with complaints.*
Also there’s a pretty informative write-up here.
So yeah, antifascism is now terrorism according to the US gov.
Their website and mailing server has been taken down in Europe, too now.
Are they still willing to kiss his ass, or does the USA have the power to do that globally?
Only yesterday most DNS services allowed it (OpenNIC, NextDNS, and the big ones).
Now they all return this:

Check out these links, it’s bad:

One can log a complaint here but all the form links resolve to my.site.com. Which is invalid.
Question
Where (in Europe or globally) can I log a complaint resp. protest?
What is autistici.org
It’s the Italian volunteer technology collective Autistici/Inventati. Has been around for decades.
There’s been some reports on the fediverse during the past days, and personally I’ve been using them for years. Among other things they provide free email accounts for people who ask.

And of course their own blog post about it:

edit1:
Since their registrar is Gandi, I think it makes sense to log a complaint with them even if they aren’t ultimately responsible:
abuse@support.gandi.net
https://helpdesk.gandi.net/hc/en-us/requests/new
* and not ICANN. I have no idea how these things work internally; maybe ICANN defers power over such things to these TLD-orgas and avoiding US-controled TLDs is enough for the time being.
I would hate to think that the US can control ALL domains by bullying ICANN into submission.
You must log in or register to comment.
It seems like they have a mirror of their website here.
Indeed. It still works, even the webmail.
So how do you get to their website without DNS? Does anyone remember the IP? Do they have a .onion URL?
Don’t remember neither numerical IP nor .onion. Would be good to know.
But neither would help very much because I cannot use my (secondary) mail account anymore. This has been very useful in the past - well, over 10 years.

What we always did.
Trump can do this because he can impose financial sanctions on anyone he chooses, including European officials. There are no good alternatives for American financial systems. They would rather help him impose sanctions on others, than be his victim.
LOL their new domain is https://www.inventati.org/
Also .org
not new, it has been there forever
So yeah, antifascism is now terrorism according to the US gov.
I think if you dig a little deeper you will find the issue is not quite so black-and-white.
Feel free to elaborate.
being placed on the terrorist organizations list along daesh and alqaeda looks pretty black and white to me. There should be a wide spectrum including “organization whose activities/(h)activism/humanitarian support indirectly happens to help terrorist group, along lots of other causes”.
