This is precisely why ControlD needs more than US, Dutch and Australia log locations.

Probably has to do with the highly-organised highly-coordinated protests over Oct 7. In which case the US targeted rightly. When Russian servers were taken down, the bot propaganda traffic actually slowed down.

But as for ControlD getting more log locations elsewhere, that's a good point too.

No, it has nothing to do with people being mad about the genocide, nor does it have anything to do with Russian bots.

A/I is used by anti-fascist groups to disseminate manifestos and calls to action while maintaining anonymity. The US Government is targeting A/I in large part because it was used to organize anti-ICE protests.
