Cosplaying to be anti “American Tech”, then kissing the empire hand for blessing.

This is called “neoliberal euro syndrome”.

    Enjoying a succulent Chinese meal.

    But, more seriously…

    The seized server belongs to Italian internet provider Autistici/Inventati (A/I). Dutch police are creating a digital image of its data to hand over to U.S. authorities, as required under the American request for legal assistance.

    For years, A/I offered free website hosting and email services to thousands of organizations. It attracted the attention of the Trump administration, which regards antifa as a terrorist organization. In late August, U.S. authorities also labeled A/I a terrorist organization, alleging that it had supported antifa. NRC described the move as exceptional, noting that internet service providers are not usually held liable for what their users do.

    Just looks like they were hosting traffic that Trump decided to label as Antifa and therefore Terrorist. No indication of what that traffic actually was.

          Fucking… No. I don’t want to be more disappointed. I’m already super disappointed with how everything’s going and have to actively work on forcing myself through the five stages of grief just to stay sane.

          This timeline sucks fucking ass. The whole thing is disappointing. It feels like daily I organically end up thinking “_ can’t possibly be true, can it?” And then, yeah, some other pillar of reliability of normalcy and safety or long held hope is destroyed.

          We are doing an absolute shite job of making the future brighter for our children and our children’s children.

      As required under fucking what?

      Also, just to belabor the point, trump is Profa.

        required

        request

        Aye, these words do not match. Amsterdam loudly and proudly claims credit for hiding Anne Frank. Making it one of their core tourist attractions. And yet when modern day digital Anne Frank is on their turf they hand them over without question.

        MLAT - Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty.

        These treaties have been around since the 80’s, though I doubt they have been abused this way before.

          Not valid unless it was a crime in the country the request is filed to. There’s no “they asked do we had to”

            The claim is terrorism and violent extremism, which would be a crime that meets criteria. And again:

            though I doubt they have been abused this way before.

              I don’t understand why people on the Internet will argue with someone answering questions about legal stuff as if the answerer is supporting that position or something

      So destroying their org wasn’t enough. Kinda seems like they know somebody in that community has information they’re trying to control…

        It might be, but if you trace this from earlier, then I don’t think they are after a specific someone.

        they want data, anything that is not accessible for them before, they want to have it. i mean plantir or any other “mossad agency” is creating digital ID for everyone as we speak, big data llm is capable to identify who and where and what you are in seconds, as long as you feed it data.

          Primarily they are after information on the groups opposing their far right buddies trying to seize control of europe. Maybe some specific stuff too, but I thought that was clear.

          I definitely concede there’s no way of knowing. And going for overkill fits the regime’s MO. Just felt odd, I guess, mainly because they have such an insane intelligence apparatus, actually.
