GIFCT believes that solutions developed to prevent terrorist and violent extremist exploitation of digital platforms can only work if they reflect multi-stakeholder input, especially from civil society. By design, representatives from civil society hold a majority on GIFCT’s Independent Advisory Committee, participate across all GIFCT Working Groups, have been vital influences in how we seek to carry out the commitments of the Human Rights Impact Assessment we commissioned in the first year of our operations as an independent entity, and are recognized as key stakeholders advising across GIFCT’s lines of effort. GIFCT also hosts webinars and events that incorporate civil society voices to highlight areas of concern, adversarial shifts, and areas for further GIFCT work.
