The Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism (GIFCT) is a non-profit organization founded in 2017 by major tech companies including Meta, Microsoft, YouTube, and X (formerly Twitter). Its mission is to prevent terrorists and violent extremists from exploiting digital platforms by fostering collaboration among technology companies, government, civil society, and academia. GIFCT focuses on three main pillars: preventing terrorist activity online, responding to incidents, and adapting to emerging trends in technology and extremism. The organization has expanded its membership to over thirty diverse platforms and is guided by foundational goals that promote civil dialogue, empower technology companies, and advance understanding of extremist operations. GIFCT's efforts are aligned with the Christchurch Call to Action, which aims to eliminate terrorist content online and enhance the tech ecosystem's response to such threats.
