The State Department is targeting an overseas tech network accused of helping extremists hide in plain sight by providing encrypted tools to Antifa activists in Portland, Oregon, and overseas terror groups including Hamas and Iran's Revolutionary Guard. Correspondent Alex Hogan reports live in Washington on this. Big deal, Alex. Confidence 95%
Yeah, hi, Jacqui. So the State and Treasury Departments are designating Autistici/Inventati, or AI Collective, as a specially designated global terrorist group, saying that this group provides digital infrastructure to violent Antifa cells and other far-left groups. Confidence 95%
So according to the department, services include encrypted chats and email, web hosting, secure video conferencing, and streaming, which allow other groups to remain anonymous beyond the reach of the law. Confidence 95%
The department says the collective provided services to groups who carried out attacks on rail systems in European countries. Confidence 95%
And here at home, groups that have carried out attacks on ICE or at a law enforcement training center in Atlanta, Georgia, for example. Confidence 95%
The Italy-based group says it started 20 years ago to provide internet support for social movements. Confidence 95%
According to the group's website, that includes individuals, collectives, communities, and groups whose political and social activities fit within this worldview and who share some fundamental principles. Confidence 95%
That includes anti-fascism, anti-racism, anti-sexism, anti-militarism. On top of that, one has to share our basic attitude towards money and the capitalistic world. Confidence 95%
A deep feeling of uneasiness and unrest. Confidence 95%
So this is the first designation of its kind since US Secretary of State Marco Rubio convened leaders from around the world for a summit last month on the resurgence of political terrorism. The State Department says this group has a massive footprint including 16,000 mailboxes, 1,500 websites, 5,500 mailing lists, and about 10,000 blogs, Jacqui. Confidence 95%
