Washington Examiner: The new push to shut terrorists out of social media
Activists and lawmakers are pressing the Obama administration and social media companies to do more to fight the Islamic State's use of Facebook, Twitter and YouTube as weapons of war. Mark Wallace, CEO of the Counter-Extremism Project, a private nonprofit formed to fight online and financial support for terrorists, suggested that those who don't cooperate could at some point be seen as offering material support for terrorist groups, which is illegal under U.S. law. "At some point you'd have to be responsible," Wallace, a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, told the Washington Examiner.

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.
