Funny coincidence, I just started watching [1]. In it, Tyler Cowen makes the case that "Big Tech" is underrated, and around 6:30 he talks about the claim that YouTube radicalises people. He doesn't find a compelling case in the academic literature. From a philosophical perspective, though, I'm a liberal -- if someone's videos are "unhealthy" but inside the bounds of the law, I think it's usually good for society for platforms to host them (though the companies shouldn't have a legal obligation to host them, and certainly need not promote them.) Grown-ups are grown-ups. But maybe you're talking about actually criminal radicalization, like telling people to kill others? Not just asking difficult questions about the shape of the Earth? 1: https://vimeo.com/636460268 https://vimeo.com/636460268.
