Is hosting speech enough for a far-left hacker collective to be sanctioned?

AI summary of the linked article

The article, a newsletter piece by Peter (the byline is "Peter" at the end), argues that the State Department and Treasury's designation of Italian hosting collective Autistici/Inventati (A/I) as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist sits close to the limits of First Amendment and Berman Amendment protections for information and informational materials. It says the designation would be questionable if A/I merely transacted in information without particularized assistance to violent actors, but would be stronger if administrators helped choose targets or configured systems for planned attacks. The piece notes that A/I openly describes itself as a radical-left collective, reviews service requests on ideological grounds, and engineers its infrastructure to resist surveillance, while stating that these practices are not in themselves unlawful.
