The U.S. Department of the Treasury has placed the collective Autistici/Inventati (A/I) on a blacklist, alongside Palestinian and British activist groups. A/I is not accused of criminal acts but for providing anonymity and secure communication tools. This action is viewed as an attack on free communication and a global exercise in repressive hegemony, potentially influenced by regulations like the EU's Digital Service Act. The report also contrasts A/I's model of digital interaction with that of U.S. web giants, questioning the U.S. Treasury's focus on A/I while U.S. chatbots allegedly support criminal industries and non-state actors.
