Yes, but that was not true.

Youtube really does have far-right extremist content on it. It really does drive you towards it. This is something happening in reality.

It was true in part! Judas Priest has a quite emphatic, criminal-friendly message on the topic of Breaking the Law. The question - in both cases - is whether the very real unsavory messages actually cause people to do terrible things they would have otherwise avoided.
