Los Alamos Daily Post: Luján Introduces Bill To Hold Tech Platforms Accountable For Algorithmic Promotion Of Extremist Content
"'Sen. Luján’s proposed legislation is a crucial measure that will help hold the technology sector accountable for recklessly deploying algorithms that amplify dangerous and extremist content. These companies have relied on algorithms to maximize engagement and profit at the expense of individuals, children, societies, and democracies. This must change, and this bill will help to incentivize better behavior from the industry,' Dr. Hany Farid said, Senior Advisor, Counter Extremism Project; Professor, UC Berkeley."

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.
