DESCRIPTION

The Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism (GIFTS) launched in 2017 to help social media and the tech industry better coordinate their efforts to counter terrorism online. 聽One of its signature achievements has been a shared industry hash database, where companies can create and share 鈥渄igital fingerprints鈥 for terrorist content. 聽Many warn that this kind of blacklist for content undercuts free speech. 聽But with terrorist content flowing across social media, others say GIFTC is doing enough. 聽Who is right?

TLS will explore these issues with GIFCT鈥檚 new Executive Director, Nick Rasmussen, David Kaye, a law professor at UC Irvine and the former聽United Nations Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression, and others.
