Global Internet Forum To Counter Terrorism

Zoom has joined a counterterrorism organisation formed by major US tech companies including Meta and Microsoft the group said.

The Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism was created in 2017 under pressure from US and European governments.

The Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism (GIFCT), established by Facebook, Microsoft, Twitter and YouTube with the objective of disrupting terrorist abuse on their respective platforms, will now become an independent organisation led by an Executive Director and supported by dedicated technology, counterterrorism and operations teams.

The companies said they would share technical solutions for removing terrorist content, commission research, and work more with counter-terrorism experts.

Nations must share intelligence to stop extremist groups slipping across borders and using the Internet to plan attacks, ministers insisted today as they sought concrete commitments to halt intel failures.
