Autistici/Inventati Collective to Shut Down Amid Political Pressure

The Autistici/Inventati collective, a provider of free and privacy-oriented digital services, has declared it will shut down its operations. The decision follows the group being labeled a global terrorist organization, which has led to heightened risks for its users and contributors. For over 25 years, the collective has maintained an autonomous infrastructure committed to privacy and political engagement. However, in the current political climate, continuing to operate poses significant legal and financial dangers to those connected with the platform. The collective emphasized its commitment to protecting its community from potential repression and manipulation by authoritarian entities. Users will soon receive instructions on how to back up their data, including blogs, mailboxes, and websites, although some disruptions to services may occur without prior notice. While the collective is closing its services, it encourages its community to remain resilient and continue advocating for digital freedom and human rights.
