People become readicalized. Nobody s born a die-hard islamist, so yes, making it harder to access radical content is maiing id harder, but not impossible, to become radicalized. Goes for extreme right wing content and other religious extremists as well.

And most news isn't fake, luckily. All news is biased, true, but that doesn't mean it's fake. Which is a big difference. That the press isn't doing itself a lot of favours by being what it is today is also true.

>> And most news isn't fake, luckily

Agreed - poor wording on my part above, i meant specifically islamic terrorist propaganda when i said fake news.

>> making it harder to access radical content is maiing id harder, but not impossible, to become radicalized

Agreed but harder is a good outcome. I'm fine with "better, but not perfect"
