Try https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/aug/13/james-dam... for a start, which is quite well cited and referenced.

Sounds like Google is the one at fault here...

Stefan Molyneux and Jordan Peterson are just right-of-center. They aren't hate groups or extremists. Peterson in particular is emphatically reasonable and moderate, if a bit disagreeable.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan_Molyneux provides a substantial amount of evidence to the contrary, for starters.

he's a right wing libertarian and has been involved in some controversies. when someone says right wing extremist I think of the neo-Nazi's in Charlottesville, not some blogger with anti-authoritarian views.

It's really amusing to watch the sudden edits of that article by IP addresses very shortly after posting my comment.
Here is the version of the article I was citing, for the record: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stefan_Molyneux&o... I would recommend reading that version, rather than the rapidly "sanitized" version that omits various unfavorable media citations.
Have you got any evidence of this, because it sounds like bullshit?
