US Labels Host of NoBlogs.org a 'Global Terrorist'
US Government Designates Host of Noblogs.org a "Global Terrorist"
The US State Department has designated the Italian collective Autistici/Inventati, which runs the privacy-focused blogging platform NoBlogs.org, as a 'Specially Designated Global Terrorist.' The designation, which also targets Palestine Action and Masar Badil, cites the collective's 'far-left' politics and alleged support for groups like Rose City Antifa—a claim that appears to be based on a conflation with a different project. The move, which takes effect September 25, 2026, blocks transactions with the collective and is seen as an attempt to suppress dissident media and criminalize domestic protesters.
Anti-fascism and anti-capitalism are not terrorism. Protesting is not terrorism. And everyone has the right to speak out and to struggle for humanity.

If you’ve wondered why there wasn’t an effective political Left in this county for the last ~60 years, buckle up.

Being far-left is now officially terrorism. Now they will start move the bar one step at a time, one organization at a time, to cut off every political movement that does not align.

They really don't have to call a group far left or far right in their justification, because it sounds like weak credibility in search of social support. They could just call them a criminal organization seeking directly, or indirectly, to contribute to violence for political ends, which does not sound like the case here.

From a European perspective, one has long wondered what this government actually considers NOT to be terrorism. The violent storming of a national symbol of democracy is clearly not one of them.
This doesn't exactly make one want to spend their next vacation in the USA – even though, admittedly, we have our own problems here.

Nice to know these guys exist, might have to make use of some of their services.

>Their claim about Rose City Antifa seems to be false, however, conflating Rose City Antifa with another project called Rose City Counterinfo.

Will they be invited to the White House in 10 years like this "Global Terrorist" was?
