Press Release · Keep the Internet free
On August 26, 2026, the U.S. Department of the Treasury, through OFAC (Office of Foreign Assets Control – the authority responsible for managing and enforcing economic and financial sanctions) sanctioned Autistici/Inventati (A/I), an Italian collective that has been providing digital infrastructure – email, hosting, mailing lists, chat, videoconferencing, streaming, and services related to privacy and anonymity – to movements and activists since 2001. Washington designated it as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT), alleging that it has provided financial, material or technological support to terrorism and to organizations already subjected to sanctions. A/I rejects the allegations and declares that its activities consist in providing tools for digital self-defence and infrastructure for the freedom of communication.

Russian strikes destroy 12 million books ahead of Ukraine's first week back at school - sh.itjust.works
> Russia has hit printing presses and publishing houses across Ukraine in a series of recent attacks, destroying 12 million books and damaging other icons of Ukrainian history and culture. Local media report [https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/articles/2026/08/22/8049865/] that Russia has destroyed one third of all the books printed in Ukraine this year. — This community deals not only with banned books but also with books deemed “challenging.” Therefore, I believe this news, which reports on the destruction of the Ukrainian publishing industry for “challenging” the Russian regime and aggression, is in line with the community’s theme.
