> If they choose to support the PKK, which the EU, UK, and US have all deemed a terrorist organization for over 20 years, then of course the US should sanction them and they have no moral ground to stand on.

No moral ground to stand on? Would you say that about Amazon who supports the US regime, which is in the business of bombing Iranian schoolgirls? Is that less terrorist?

This collective of course has much more of a moral ground to stand on than indeed Amazon.

>And even if they were that doesn't mean the US shouldn't sanction them for supporting terrorism.

careful, if you start going after neutral infrastructure providers, that means google, amazon, microsoft, meta, and more will also need to go. i guarantee more terrorism-related content is discussed via those providers than a/i.

we should probably also go after internet service providers, too. maybe the companies that make the fiber optics?

(has anyone checked who is providing terrorists with electricity?)

> If they choose to support the PKK

Did they? There's a lot of implication with that "if", and I saw someone else point out (albeit rudely) that anything that may have supported them was taken down.

So since The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, will US sanction him too?

Or since ONU has declared illegal the occupation of territory in West Bank, will US sanction Israel?

Or will the United States only sanction those who simply see things differently from them?

we should be careful not to assume that the eu, uk and us set a good moral standard to follow.

you might ask who is right; the groups like google providing services to the us military, or the groups providing services to those opposing the us military.

> Their own manifesto says they use their limited resources to support groups they align with.

Woah, with radical statements like that, we might have to go after mutual aid groups, PACs, and churches.

It's bullshit made up by Shideler [0], and it's not even the PKK directly either that A/I supported, but some blog that reposts communiqués.

We'll see if the Bush- and Obama-style thoughtcrime back in action will lull USA citizens and make them forget the gas price.

Cherry picking bad one organization doesn’t make me feel any better about this over-broad order.

Morality != legality. these anarchists have a much better moral grounding than most US tech companies which gladly support US military destruction.

> If they choose to support the PKK, which the EU, UK, and US

But they are not choosing to support the PKK.

They accuse it of being “a major far-left tech collective whose services are used by the most active and violent Antifa cells in the United States and across the world.”

The far left is a terrorist group? Where are all these violent "antifa cells"?

They labeled this groups as a terrorist organization so they could claim that anyone protesting the fascist Trump regime will easily be labeled terrorists and thrown in jail without a trial.
