Independent Advisers Resign En Masse From Big Tech's Anti-Terrorism Group
Outside researchers have resigned en masse from the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism, alleging that structural changes pushed by Meta and other tech giants will weaken oversight of the consortium. The group was already described as embattled before the departures. The resignations target the independent advisory function within the organization, which the departing experts say is being undermined by the restructuring. Meta is named as a driving force behind the changes. No individual advisers, dates, or locations were specified in the source material.
