YouTube accused of being 'organ of radicalisation'

Algorithms push viewers to extremes, senior MP says at launch of report on far right

Social media companies have been heavily criticised at the launch of a major report on the far right, with YouTube being labelled an "organ of radicalisation".

The State of Hate 2020 report, by Hope Not Hate, also found the Conservative party had suspended more than 20 officials and activists, including six sitting councillors, who had posted Islamophobic comments on social media.
