On September 7, 2026, the Italian digital rights organization Autistici/Inventati announced its official closure. Previously, the U.S. Department of State and the Treasury Department had placed the organization on the list of specially designated global terrorists. The organization stated that being on the list made it illegal for American citizens to do business with them, and they believed that continuing to provide services would put users and members at risk in a politically oppressive environment. Although the organization had always aimed to provide safe, non-commercial digital tools, they had no choice but to stop operating due to the risks involved.
After the U.S. Department of State and Treasury listed the Italian organization Autistici/Inventati on the Special Designated Global Terrorist List, the organization announced its closure last week. This decision was made because being on the list made it illegal for U.S. citizens to deal with them, and the organization believed that continuing to provide services would put users and members at risk in an increasingly oppressive political environment. Autistici/Inventati stated that upholding humanity is not an empty promise, but faced with risks, there is no other choice. Without promoting heroism or sacrifice, it is no longer possible to maintain the original intention of providing safe, non-commercial digital tools.
