A former U.S. president has formally labeled an Italian web-hosting company as a foreign "terror" entity, a move that could force American platforms to sever ties with it. The designation risks taking offline antifascist and activist websites that rely on the provider’s services. Critics argue the action is part of a broader effort to suppress dissent and free speech in the U.S. by targeting infrastructure that supports online activism. The decision raises concerns about government overreach and the potential chilling effect on digital expression.
