Terrorism designation has global consequences for open internet and free expression
Abstract
On 26 August 2026, the US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned the Italy-based digital service and infrastructure provider Autistici/Inventati (A/I), designating the collective a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT). ARTICLE 19 warns that such action against an infrastructure provider violates international freedom of expression standards and sets a dangerous precedent.
