While they are not directly in trouble, this is yet one more reason to have a sovereign financial system in Europe. Especially a direct competitor for the credit card networks (VISA, Mastercard) and SWIFT. These are the immediate threats.

To give a bit of context, A/I has always been closer to a conceptual group than an active hacking organization. Think Luther Blisset[1], or for a more US-centric community, the Yes-Men group[2].
Like, if they said "We're indicating Red Brigades as a terrorist group" at least it would be... understandable. But all in all Banksy has probably pulled way riskier political stunts than those guys in the past.

What do you mean "not directly in trouble"? Their bank account will be blocked.

With respect, this is false. JDL members were certainly charged with crimes. They were not charged with belongimg to the JDL, since that would be a first amendment violation. There are interesting reports on state.gov describing the difficulties the JDL caused with the Soviet Union, eg.: https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1969-76v13... Note that at no point do they discuss banning the JDL or charging m…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Defense_League Ok maybe I'm wrong or there is some subtle legalese but the wikipedia page states that "it was described as a "right-wing terrorist group" by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in 2001".

It's laughable to call that an "antifa cell", especially as they're abusing terrorism charges to send someone away for life for moving zines. We have white-nationalist groups actually organizing and training. Shipping in Khaki clad warriors in box trucks to shout slurs and intimidate people. We have videos of said groups doing weapons training like the Al Qaeda training videos of the 2000s. Antifa? Your primary sourc…
> they're abusing terrorism charges to send someone away for life for moving zines. You can make anything sound idiotic if you simplify it enough. They're trying to send someone away for hiding evidence. Using your logic you could say that someone arrested for shooting someone is being put away for moving their index finger.
We have days worth of footage of storming the Capital and yet dozens were given full pardons. They're political charges.

And it will have the effect of making these tools more popular, as it boldly proclaims how effective they are against even nation-state–level threats.

There, FTFY.

Really best for the US to get rid of the zionism ties. I'm fine with US imperialism, which actually benefits us, not this bs where we spend all our money and diplomatic strength on some other country.
Supporting imperialism, any imperialism, simply is wrong. Is this really all that humanity amounts to in 2026? Thinking about imposing its own hegemony on others, the way kings did with their subjects in the Middle Ages? Massacring defenceless peoples like the Palestinians? Behaving like the Nazis? And expecting that no one will respond to such abuses and when they do, calling them terrorists? Are you really okay wit…

What were the Zines evidence of? Protected speech? We have days worth of footage of storming the Capital and yet dozens were given full pardons. They're political charges.
Evidence of conspiracy.

So just because something bad was allowed to happen, any other bad thing should be allowed?
