People who search, promote, like, follow, things relating to ISIS are going to be exposed to more ISIS things.

You watch dog and cat videos in YT search engine, eventually you’ll start seeing cats and dogs, and probably a mix of some other animals like rabbits or squirrels on your homepage and more often on the side bar. That’s how these algorithms work.

Unless you can prove said algorithms purposefully promote things like ISIS to people who do not search for these things then there should be no issue.

You can watch this video about, well, pretty much the same case involving YT, alleging that there algorithms promote harmful ideologies:
