The Nowhere Machine
Whoever runs the Nowhere Machine is able to stifle internet speech anywhere in the world, warns the Defender, the journal of Children’s Health Defense, which supports many of the issues championed by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Health and Human Services secretary.
Kennedy’s internet discussions of vaccines were muzzled during the Biden years at the behest of the Biden administration. Google has just issued an apology for participating in such muzzlings.
“The Nowhere Machine” is a computer surveillance system designed to assure that child pornography and terrorism content go nowhere in cyber space. Formally, the system is known as the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism, or GIFCT.
Founded by tech giants Meta, Microsoft, YouTube and X, the system is supposed to fight crimes against society’s most vulnerable. But the invisible, always-on monitoring system that watches nearly everything we send, store and share online is poised to throttle debate and stifle reforms, the Defender says.
Internal GIFCT documents reveal discussions, the journal says, about expanding controls beyond terrorism to include:
Fringe groups [whose] non-violent ideologies … are on the periphery of social movements or larger organizations, with more extreme views than those of the majority.This is a turning point, the journal warns. “It moves GIFCT from targeting violent threats to monitoring dissenting ideas.”
Civil rights groups, health freedom advocates, independent journalists, whistleblowers and reformers — anyone operating outside mainstream consensus — could now be flagged, throttled or silenced under GIFCT’s framework, the journal says, adding that because private companies make these decisions in closed-door sessions, there is no public oversight, no appeal process and no democratic accountability.
To preserve free speech, open debate and the possibility of reform, the Defender advocates:
# Congress must act to place limits on GIFCT’s scope and require full public transparency.
# Privacy and civil rights organizations must be empowered to audit GIFCT’s hash lists and review what’s being censored.
# Users must have due process rights — the ability to appeal labels, removals and bans.
# Citizens deserve public reporting on who decides what gets suppressed and why.To read the full story, please use the link below:
