"Violent extremism" is an enemy image used as a more modern replacement for the contested word "terrorism". In July 2017, YouTube announced that they would be modifying their website "to provide more resources and more content that can help change minds of people at risk of being radicalized". In practice, this seems to allied to the "war on terror" project.[1]
