Washington Examiner: Orlando highlights America's problem with ISIS on Twitter
Tara Maller, spokeswoman for the Counter Extremism Project, said governments have taken strides toward thwarting the Islamic State's social media campaign, but the online war is far from won. "The general opinion is there is a lot of work to be done," said Maller, a former CIA analyst. Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and the like have all cooperated with the government's efforts but could do more, she said. For example, plenty of content violating the platforms' terms of service still gets posted.

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.
