@mro@digitalcourage.social well I don't think we know that ICANN was actually involved at all in taking the .org from A/I. The registrar of the autisitici is Gandi which is an EU based company. But Gandi is owned by an Private Equity firm so I doubt they would deny any request by the US for a take down notice. .EU is run by https://eurid.eu (based in Belgium) and .IT is run by CNR (National Research Council)

@liaizon@social.wake.st @mro@digitalcourage.social My source is what Geert Lovink sent to the Nettime mailing list: Autistici/Inventati the Italian activist server/mail provider with servers in NL, has been added to the terrorist list by the US yesterday. Last night, American authorities removed their domain name from ICANN, the internet organisation that manages the .org domains in the world (an organization that is quasi-neutral but US based and in the hands of Trump authorities). The server, www.autistici.org http://www.autistici.org/, is now blocked. You can still read more information about it here: https://www.inventati.org/.
