Italian activist tech collective A/I flags U.S. sanctions atop its manifesto

Autistici/Inventati (A/I) is a volunteer-run Italian collective, founded in 2001 out of the autonomous anticapitalist movement, that provides free communication and ‘digital self-defense’ tools to activists. It refuses to monetize or surveil user data, takes no compensation, funds itself entirely through donations, and vets every service request manually and anonymously to ensure applicants share its political affinity. Services are strictly non-commercial and gated behind agreement with the group’s manifesto and privacy policy.
