  5. Twitter, Facebook, YouTube Grapple With Islamic State Censorship (US News & World Report, September 5): How and what to censor when is a real problem Facebook, Twitter, etc. sites are grappling with. In the case of ISIS, the social media-savvy organization is using these tools to recruit and spread propaganda. But where do we draw the line between free speech and extremism when it comes to censoring social content?
