  1. I think the term "radicalized" is absurd, way over used. It should only mean being so convinced of something that is likely incorrect or at the very least extremely indoctrinated so severely that you would do harm/violence or conspire to do harm/violence. I think the better term would be being duped. Which isn't difficult for any of us. We all have our biases and unless you took philosophy in school K-12 or college level, discerning fact from fiction isn't something we just automatically know. It took humanity over hundred thousand years to come up with the scientific method. So essentially, you're learning. And possibly duped into really incorrect nonsense for a time. But it takes free flowing conversation that links to credible sources to come to the facts and as close to truth as possible. I too watched a few Stefan Molyneux because his topics were among things I'm interested in as a hobby and major in college; economics and business in particular. Fortunately, I was already aware of the nonsense philosophy of Ian Rand's greed is some how a virtue when it is defined specifically as a vice (in that it does harm). Always thought it was ironic the guy looked like Vladimir Lenin, but being on the extreme opposite. It's always healthy to listen to counter arguments and sometimes outright absurd arguments... sometimes its good for the laugh. But for the less obvious incorrect or poor arguments it's good to exercise critical thinking skills. Censorship is a terrible thing. Sure there's a place and time and certain material that is illegal including defamation that shouldn't happen. And unfortunately copyright and trademark violations are warranted which doesn't prevent at least commentary under fair use.
