The U.S. Department of the Treasury has sanctioned Autistici/Inventati (A/I), an Italian collective providing internet services to radical organizations, by adding it to the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List. While these sanctions have no direct legal power outside the U.S., they have led to A/I's domain, autistici.org, becoming inaccessible due to pressure on its registrar, Public Interest Registry. This action, along with banking and payment service restrictions, impacts A/I's approximately 20,000 customers and raises concerns for left-wing organizations globally about relying on U.S.-controlled domains and services.
