WIRED reports that a July plan would let tech companies choose new members of the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism’s advisory committee, rather than having current members elect them.
TLDR
WIRED reports that six of the nine independent experts on the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism’s advisory board resigned on September 28, according to a letter it saw. Under a plan laid out in July, tech companies would pick new advisers instead of current members electing them. The committee would also be barred from assessing the consortium’s performance or making recommendations as a group—limits the advisers believed would neuter its watchdog role. Meta chairs the consortium.
