The article seems misleading implying it's due to the ""collective’s “far-left” politics"" which seem odd as far left isn't illegal.
If you look at the govt announcement it cites:
>multiple high-profile instances of breaking into defense infrastructure and British military installations, and causing millions of dollars’ worth of damage to military equipment. Palestine Action has promoted its violent, criminal, and terrorist acts on social media, encouraging the use of similar tactics internationally, including within the United States and along the U.S.-Mexican border.
and the like https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sb0616
So it's breaking in and destroying stuff which is illegal, not the far left.
The problematic thing is the implication that holding a similar view automatically makes you a part of the same organization.
Terrorist groups are more traditionally defined as an organized groups that use terrorism as a military tactic to achieve their goals.
noblogs.org never used such tactics nor supported them.
If we call anyone a terrorist, if they have at least one view similar to those who did terrorist acts, we only need 2 quite specific terrorist acts to cover all earths population.
The action is against Autistici Inventati, not noblogs. The govt argument is
>Autistici Inventati [...] exclusively provides its services to vetted individuals, collectives, and groups it perceives to be aligned with its ideology, including to sanctioned terrorist organizations...
Lmao the Italian blogging platform has nothing to do with Palestine Action, did you even read the article?
Or do you even pay attention? "Far left" has been illegal in the past and trump clearly wants it so again
