Social networks launch campaign against extremist propaganda
Social networking firms have been looking at how to use online advertising to dissuade youths from joining Islamist and other radical groups, with findings due to be published in a Monday report.
The report by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue will wrap up what Google’s think tank Alphabet has learned, with the help of Facebook and Twitter, during weeks of experiments on the topic, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The study will show what kinds of messages can best reach teenagers and young adults who are at risk of becoming radicalized by Daesh terror group and right-wing movements like white supremacists.
