This is how you can prevent young men from being radicalized on the Internet

Networks of white male supremacist communities are using algorithms and digital marketing funnels to influence young men and convert them to violent extremist ideologies.

Here are five ways you can do to prevent young men from being radicalized on the Internet.

  1. Learn about the ways that social media is being used to target and recruit young men (resources at the end of the article)

  2. Advocate for social policies preventing unemployment, poverty, and social exclusion

  3. Contribute to a positive counter-narrative

  4. Teach young people to think critically

  5. Make implicit radicalization prevention an integral part of existing youth programs
