"I'm concerned that the US government is starting to identify decentralized media infrastructure as a threat to its survival."

If youre on the fediverse youre a terrorist to america.

Starting to?

Concerned you say...

It always was comrade.

Not decentralized media per se so much as things it doesn't control and cannot influence (tiktok for example). It's about control. They need to have leverage whether it's ability to arrest the CEO, harass for taxes, or videos of them abusing kids. A way to make them dance to the US tune and shut down those who wander too far from the preferred US narrative beyond approved levels of dissent.

Using Turkey and Erdogan as a basis for this shit is heinous. The Kurds (PKK) were experiencing a genocide…not unlike the Palestinians currently impacted by second order effects from this action. This is explicit weaponization of the state in support of foreign powers/interests. Americans should be ashamed.

First they came for the Anarchists..

Wait what

I can't access the site. Is it possible they have taken it down already. This is fu**ing crazy. Its censorship 100%.

I'm not a lefty but this is pure abuse of power. Someone wakes up in the morning, decides you support terrorism and waves sanctions on you. Website is taken down immediately. The problem here is that the italian government is right wing so are not protesting. Not even leftwing parties are saying anything.

Autistci was only providing anonimised means of comunication. I cannot believe we are having to suck this up and nobody is saying or doing anything. These bloody authoritariano governments are eroding democracy at a pace never seen before. If we don't wake up and excercise our voting powers, we are doomed.
