The tech collective behind NoBlogs.org and a host of other free online initiatives has announced that they are shutting down as a consequence of the US State Department designating them a "global terrorist."

This represents a significant blow to online freedom. It is not just a threat to anarchists or volunteer-run tech collectives; the Trump administration aims to shut down any institution or project that it perceives to stand in the way of its pursuit of totalitarian control.

We must fight them every inch of the way.

The day we discovered we had been designated a global terrorist organization,
we promised that we would try to resist as long as this was possible,
that we would not back down as long as we could see options to stand our ground.

For years, we have proudly maintained and defended a free, privacy-friendly, autonomous and politically committed infrastructure.

Probably the best way to fight would be to rebuild this infrastructure over tor in a decentralized platform anybody could set up and run on their own servers. Resilliance and decentralization are inter-related concepts. Without desentralization you can't really have resilient infrastructure. Single points of failure fail when attacked. I think when we rebuild this, it should be using something like WriteFreely as the base. Expect more attacks like this since it works for them.
