==Measures and projects== {{Expand section|date=May 2017}} Google's think tank [[Jigsaw (company)|Jigsaw]] has been developing a new program β called the Redirect Method β in which Google's search advertising algorithms and YouTube's video platform are used to target aspiring [[ISIS]] recruits and ultimately dissuade them from joining the group.<ref name=google>{{cite magazine|last1=Greenberg|first1=Andy|title=Google's Clever Plan to Stop Aspiring ISIS Recruits|magazine=Wired|url=https://www.wired.com/2016/09/googles-clever-plan-stop-aspiring-isis-recruits/|publisher=WIRED|access-date=23 May 2017|date=2016-09-07}}</ref> [[Machine learning]] and [[scientific inquiry]] can be used to find the most effective contents (such as videos) for deradicalization, to learn why people leave terrorist movements and to identify aspiring violent radicals. Humera Khan, executive director of the Islamic deradicalization group Muflehu, states that deradicalization also needs human interaction and a supportive community backing up the person's decision to turn away from extremism.<ref name=google/> Renee Garfinkel also notes that personal relationships play a major role in the transformation of involvement in violence to non-violent activity, saying "change often hinges on a relationship with a mentor or friend who supports and affirms peaceful behavior".<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Horgan|first1=John|title=Deradicalization or Disengagement?|issue=4|url=http://www.terrorismanalysts.com/pt/index.php/pot/article/view/32/html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130423072248/http://www.terrorismanalysts.com/pt/index.php/pot/article/view/32/html|url-status=usurped|archive-date=April 23, 2013|journal=Perspectives on Terrorism|volume=2|access-date=23 May 2017|date=19 November 2010}}</ref> Many nations and universities are engaging in deradicalization efforts.<ref name=wash1/><ref name=wired1>{{cite magazine|last1=Koerner|first1=Brendan I.|title=A Judge May Send Men Guilty of Terrorism to Anti-Extremism Therapy Instead of Prison|magazine=Wired|url=https://www.wired.com/2016/11/u-s-judge-may-sentence-wannabe-terrorists-deradicalization/|publisher=WIRED|access-date=23 May 2017|date=2016-11-13}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last1=Koehler|first1=Daniel|title=The NYC Bombing Highlights Our Urgent Need for Deradicalization Programs|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/nyc-bombing-deradicalization-programs_us_57e00bfee4b04a1497b5a1d5|work=Huffington Post|access-date=23 May 2017|date=22 September 2016}}</ref>
