Rubio is telling Antifa to 'knock it off': Jonathan Turley
Websites tied to Portland’s Rose City Antifa and the militant abortion-rights group Jane’s Revenge began going dark in the days after the State Department designated their Italy-based technology provider a global terrorist entity.
Fox News Digital first reported this week that the State Department had designated Autistici/Inventati, known as the A/I Collective, as a specially designated global terrorist over its alleged support for violent far-left networks.
"Today’s news demonstrates the extent to which the A/I Collective was the digital infrastructure of the global Antifa terror network," a State Department official told Fox News Digital.
"Just one day after the extremist collective was designated as a specially designated global terrorist, an untold number of servers and websites — used by far-left extremists to plot violent attacks, target federal agents, and conceal their crimes from law enforcement — have been shut down," the official said.
Among them was Rose City Counter-Info, a Portland-based website the State Department says Rose City Antifa used to publish personal information about Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel and organize violent activity against federal agents.

Far as I could tell last night when I first ran across this article (also Fox), I checked the website and it was UP... at least the front page... not sure about the "chat rooms".

The administrators of Autistici/Inventati, the group that was recently sanctioned by the @StateDept, have confirmed that an unknown third-party attacker gained access to data stored on the NoBlogs servers. They disclosed that the attacker may have obtained the personal data of blog account owners, such as email addresses and passwords.
Militants have been warning each other to avoid future use of NoBlogs for posting instructional material for terrorists or claims of responsibility. They fear the U.S. Government has taken over the site to use it as a trap.

Once these sites are compromised (by the feds), how long 'til new ones spring up in their place?
A cat-and-mouse game...
