The Guardian: We should stop tech firms from screening extremist videos
The home secretary is right to call on these companies to live up to their moral obligations to ensure that their platforms and services are not misused to inspire violence or perpetrate harmful acts. Progress on this front has been far too slow and, in many cases, inconsistent and plainly ineffective. For example, a YouTube search undertaken by the non-profit Counter Extremism Project in late August delivered more than 70,000 results for the well-known Isis propagandist Anwar al-Awlaki, including his most incendiary lectures urging Muslims to embrace violence. Yet the dual US-Yemeni citizen was killed more than six years ago.
The Counter Extremism Project Presents
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.
