"Mixed messages have led to recurring friction between Facebook and outside researchers who still find considerable violent or hateful content on the site. Hany Farid, who studies digital forensics at UC-Berkeley and works with the nonprofit Counter Extremism Project, fears that the company avoids more-aggressive policing to coddle right-wing users and protect its business model.

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.
