AI Summary

Six of the nine independent experts on the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism (GIFCT) advisory board resigned on Monday, as confirmed by a letter and interviews with three of the departing members. The resignations follow longstanding tensions that resurfaced after an email in July from Meta vice‑president Nell McCarthy, who oversees content policy, was sent to the counterterrorism and free‑speech experts.
