YouTube is working to combat terrorist content by introducing Jigsaw's "Redirect Method". The method redirects users who search for or click on extremist propaganda to other videos which challenge those ideologies.

The method redirects users who search for or click on extremist propaganda to other videos which challenge those ideologies. The platform aims to expand the functionality to include searches made in other languages, work with NGOs to create new video content to act against extremist messages throughout the radicalisation journey and partner with Jigsaw to introduce the "Redirect Method" throughout Europe.
