EU Reporter: #CounterExtremismProject congratulates Commission on #TerroristContent legislation
The European Commission has released its regulation on terrorist content online. The Counter Extremism Project (CEP) congratulates President Juncker and the Commission staff who have managed to carry this legislation over the line. The Commission has set itself as an example to the world by recognising the dangers of online extremism and acknowledging the need for legislation. Lucinda Creighton, senior advisor to CEP and former Irish Minister for European Affairs: “This legislation is badly needed in the fight against terrorist propaganda and recruitment, and today marks a step forward in how Europe fights extremism online. By threatening fines of 4% of global turnover, the Commission has shown that it will not let itself be bullied by large US tech companies. CEP looks forward to continuing to work with the Commission to optimize the legislation and to bring an end to extremist content online once and for all.”

Enduring Music: Compositions from the Holocaust
Marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Counter Extremism Project's ARCHER at House 88 presents a landmark concert of music composed in ghettos and death camps, performed in defiance of resurgent antisemitism. Curated with world renowned composer, conductor, and musicologist Francesco Lotoro, the program restores classical, folk, and popular works, many written on scraps of paper or recalled from memory, to public consciousness. Featuring world and U.S. premieres from Lotoro's archive, this concert honors a repertoire that endured against unimaginable evil.
