    it’s not clear to me if the data center handed it over freely or if they did the bare minimum “on what grounds???” type injunction requests.

      not a company, an anarchist collective that offered website hosting software no-blogs with a privacy focus for free. they were hacked and doxxed this august by a fully auto-objectified republican freelancer with the pentagon’s blessing/resources. true fanatic, certain that the world has stolen from the usa for years and that (with full awareness of the truth because it also categorized the victims accurately on the website “trump-blogs” it made) anarchism/the left is defined as irredeemable and violent thuggery no matter how pacifist they actually are. an evil thing, to do so knowingly, went onto twitter to gloat a bout dehashing passwords and so on.

      Org doesn’t exist anymore. They shut down after they were declared a terrorist group and all their bank accounts and domains seized.

      I’d like to think no serious leftist org would continue using their infrastructure in the wake of this, when clearly any operations that are allowed to continue will be fully compromised. But I’m too acutely aware of how tech savvy even intelligent well-read people are.
