Abstract:	"In the fight against terrorist and violent extremist content online, the EU has so far focused on illegal content identification and removal as well as on promoting counter-narratives. However, these efforts are largely undermined by the way recommendation algorithms are fine-tuned by tech companies to keep their users online for business purposes."
