The Times: Google provides new home for jihadists driven from YouTube
Google has taken steps to remove terrorist propaganda from its YouTube video-sharing site after investigations by The Times exposed the extent of the material and advertisers withdrew millions of pounds of business. However, experts have warned that the tech and publishing giant is failing to police its Google Drive file-storage and sharing service, which has become a key repository for terrorist propaganda, including calls for attacks in the West. The Counter Extremism Project (CEP) wrote to Google three weeks ago warning that Drive’s terms of service, which state that “we do not necessarily review content”, were enabling the spread of “obscene” propaganda. It said the terms contradicted the hard line on terrorism that Google puts forward “for media consumption”.

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.
