(en) Brazil, OSL: Resist | Support Autistici.org/inventati.org against US sanctions! (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

Date Wed, 30 Sep 2026 07:00:43 +0300


In the last week of August, the US Treasury Department, through OFAC (the agency responsible for managing and applying economic and financial sanctions), sanctioned Autistici/Inventati (A/I) - an Italian collective that, since 2001, has provided digital infrastructure to movements and activists - for alleged "support for terrorism." The designation given by Washington, as a "Specially Designated Global Terrorist" (SDGT), is part of a narrative used to claim that the collective provided financial, material, or technological support to terrorism and organizations already under sanctions; the British group Palestine Action and the transnational Palestinian movement Masar Badil were also included in this authoritarian US sanction.

Autistici/Inventati is a collective run on a voluntary basis. In Brazil, it is known for the NoBlogs blogging platform, which offers free infrastructure as an alternative to large commercial platforms and presents itself as an anti-fascist, anti-racist, anti-sexist, and anti-militarist organization, opposed to capitalism and authoritarianism, selecting the projects it hosts based on their compatibility with these principles.

This is not the first time that collectives offering autonomous infrastructure for safer communication and digital self-defense tools have faced repression for daring to oppose Big Tech and its structures-and the very policies of virtual control imposed by the ideological dynamics of the United States. In recent decades, especially with the growing dominance of companies like Meta and X, more persecution has occurred against individuals and alternative providers who express an anti-capitalist stance.

We defend independent technology, allied with popular movements, and that does not condone the surveillance and corporate control of the media.

The Libertarian Socialist Organization condemns the US government's attempt to silence political discourse by criminalizing autonomous infrastructure providers, and unites in support of Autistici/Inventati!
