“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.
Activists warn that the system could be used to surveill and censory ANY unwanted content, and that in fact a system document discusses the possibility of blocking non-violent groups who are said to be somehow affiliated with violence-prone groups.
Congress is being urged to establish safeguards against the possibility of unaccountable global censorship.
