Taking back the stack¶

On 26 August 2026 the United States put Autistici/Inventati on a terrorism list. The collective has run email, hosting, mailing lists, blogs and chat from Milan since 2001, unpaid and by consensus, for people who did not want to route their speech through corporations or states. Nobody has been charged, no court has been asked to find anything, and Italian law has no role in it. The listing does not touch the servers. It makes any bank, registrar, host, certificate authority or payment processor with a US connection liable for continuing to deal with the name, and leaves the rest to compliance departments, which close accounts faster than courts open cases.

One subdirectory per kind of stack, each in the same shape: what was there, what was found and done in the order it happened, and what would go wrong. The first is a one-woman company’s seven static sites. The second is a charity with 200,000 donors and a rented tenant, which is a different kind of move. The third is the provider the other two stand on, a hosting company half the Circle Sea depends on.
