A/I is switched off – stay human
September 6, 2026
The day we found out that we had been designated a global terrorist organization, we promised that we would try to resist as long as possible and that we would not back down while we still saw opportunities to defend our position. For years we have proudly maintained and defended a free, privacy-friendly, autonomous and politically engaged infrastructure.
“Stay human” is not an empty phrase for us.
Above all, it means that we have a responsibility to protect our users – those who build the human networks we rely on and the communities who have showered us with messages of support and solidarity.
We cannot wage a struggle or subject ourselves to manipulations that threaten the lives of these people and their families and put them at the mercy of autocrats, fascists and authorities who take extralegal measures. The possibility that our work could have legal and financial consequences for those close to us - or even in any way associated with us - leaves us with no other choice.
A/I ceases operations. The Autistici/Inventati collective is disbanding and will soon cease all services we offer.
There is no easy way to announce or explain this.
Every day we stayed online after August 26, 2026 was a victory, but now we are forced to stop.
None of us consider heroic gestures and martyrs particularly valuable, so we will not demand sacrifices. Neither from us nor from anyone else. In this political climate, continuing to provide our services puts our users and everyone who is part of our communities at risk. In a world where accusations lose all connection to reality, we must expect that repression will become increasingly disproportionate. Under these circumstances, we are no longer able to maintain our original mission - namely to provide secure and non-commercial digital tools.
These 25 years were great. It was an “incredible journey.”
Now turn off your PCs, leave your apartments, fight, hug each other and don't lose your smile. We stop, but the resistance and the ideas don't stop. Stay human.
We will soon provide you with instructions for backing up the contents of your blogs, email inboxes, and websites, as well as other technical recommendations. However, keep in mind that just as the domain autistici.org was made unavailable without prior notice, we may face similar issues in the next few days that we may not be able to foresee.

A/I shuts down – Stay human
Sep 6, 2026
The day we discovered we had been designated a global terrorist organization, we promised that we would try to resist as long as this was possible, that we would not back down as long as we could see options to stand our ground. For years, we have proudly maintained and defended a free, privacy-friendly, autonomous and politically committed infrastructure.
“Stay human” is not an empty phrase to us.
It means, above all, that we have a responsibility to protect our users, those who build the human networks we rely, and for the communities who flooded us with messages of support and solidarity.
We cannot engage in a fight or expose ourselves to manipulations that threaten the lives of these people and their loved ones, leaving them at the mercy of autocrats, fascists and agencies that take extra-legal courses of action. The possibility that our work may cause legal and financial consequences to those who are close to us – or even just have something to do with us – leaves us no choice.
A/I is shutting down. The Autistici/Inventati collective is shutting down and will soon discontinue all of the services we provide.
There is no easy way to announce or explain this
Every day we stayed online after August 26, 2026, has been a victory, but now we are forced to stop.
None of us holds eroic gestures and martyrs in high esteem, therefore we will demand no sacrifices. Not from us, not from anyone else. In this political climate, continuing to offer our services endangers our users and anyone who is part of our communities. In a world where allegations are disconnected from reality, we can only expect repression to be increasingly disproportionate. Under these circumstances, we are no longer able to maintain our original mission – offering secure and non-commercial digital tools.
These 25 years have been amazing. It’s been an “incredible ride”.
Now turn off your PCs, get out of your homes, struggle, hug each other and keep on smiling. We are stopping, but the resistance and ideas do not stop. Stay human.
We will soon send instructions on how to back up the content of your blogs, mailboxes and websites, along with more technical recommendations. But keep in mind that, just as the autistici.org domain was made unreachable without previous notice, in the next few days we might suffer similar issues that we may not be able to predict.
