The designation freezes all A/I assets under US jurisdiction. But the freeze is the least significant part of the measure. The effect is expulsion from the infrastructure of digital existence, without any court in Italy ever having issued a ruling. That architecture, not the individual designation, is the problem European democracies need to engage with.
