A foreign “anti-fascism” group hides leftists’ personal data from law enforcement while they promote violence and harassment on fringe websites such as a blog that recently called for attacking aircraft in Portland, Oregon.

Several radical sites are able to stay anonymous thanks to free services from the Autistici/Inventati (A/I) Collective, an Italy-based organization, a Daily Caller News Foundation analysis found. The Collective’s tools create a world of digital secrecy where leftists boast about violent attacks, encourage insurrection and publish “doxxing” materials with individuals’ home addresses.

By agreeing to A/I Collective’s policies and its far-left “principles,” one may request email accounts, a blogging page, private messaging and more, all designed to leave no digital trail leading back to a person, according to the group’s website. Its email server, for example, does not track senders’ location like others do, and its blogging platform — NoBlogs — does not store identifying data, the organization says. A/I Collective warns not to rely on its email server to try to “do something nasty without being caught.”
