PIR, the Public Interest Registry ("Based in Reston, Virginia, Public Interest Registry is a nonprofit organization created by the Internet Society to manage the .ORG domain."), seems to have put autistici.org on status serverHold and that is why you cannot resolve their name anymore. This is what can happen to your .org domain name when the Trump administration decides to add you to the OFAC (Office of Foreign Assets Control) list.
@jwildeboer on what grounds was this done? registries typically don't do this for political reasons; the normal reasons would be for domains used for criminal activity.
@ralf
We need to stop thinking about "normal" and "reasons why" because we are not dealing with normal minds or reasonable people.
Agreed, we are not. However, there are situations in which something like this can be contested, which is why I asked what their "justification" was.
Domain suspension is typically a last resort for addressing cybercrime, cutting off hardcoded c&c being an example.
Even TPB's .org suspension didn't last indefinitely.
"be contested"
You're still thinking 'normal"
How effective is contesting anything with an admin that randomly blows up boats, starts illegal wars, kidnaps the leader of another country, threatens to invade its neighbour and tried to crush that neighbour's economy because it want free access to rare minerals.
Please tell me you're joking about pursuing this through legal channels

@TrueNorthSpice @ralf Please remove my handle from further replies in this subthread, as I don't want to be part of it. Thanks!
@jwildeboer @ralf
Of course, consider it done but
you might find it's more effective to mute replies because I have no control over what others do.
