Bitchute Has Been Deplatformed
- exo762 6y agoOn the night of election. How is this defensible?
- genericone 6y agoIt's all done in the name of knowing what's best for you.
- richardARPANET 6y agoVery, very convenient timing. Someone posted this on 4chan recently https://imgur.com/a/nqWd4fT https://imgur.com/a/nqWd4fT Big tech are being quite blatant in their election interference this year.

- redis_mlc 6y agoFor HN readers who think the imgur is hyberbole, that exact scenario happened/is happening with both Biden's cognitive decline reporting and the New York Post investigative story on the Biden family payment arrangements with the CCP. Regarding the latter, ask yourself, "What possible business value does Hunter Biden offer the CCP?" None. This is known as "CCP elite capture."
- fredophile 6y agoIs there any evidence for Joe Biden's cognitive decline besides Trump saying it? Donald Trump says a lot of things and has admitted he'll lie when he thinks it helps him. Is the New York Post story the Hunter Biden laptop story? I've seen plenty of reporting on it and the details seem pretty sketchy.

- lowercase1 6y agoBiden is a studderer and that can cause merged and slurred words.
- richardARPANET 6y agoNo, that is fake news from the MSM. Go and watch all his old speeches on YouTube. No slurring at all. He is deep in mental decline, unfortunately.
- lowercase1 6y agoPlanned from 2010? Give me a break. https://www.nais.org/magazine/independent-school/spring-2010/joe-biden-reveals-childhood-stuttering-at-lab-scho/ https://www.nais.org/magazine/independent-school/spring-2010... And nobody has contradicted the story? C'mon.
- callinOutLiars 6y agoTrump is deep in mental decline.
- lowercase1 6y agoBlatant in annotation false or outrageous claims by Trump? Trump claiming victory when votes aren't counted is something to be careful about reporting.
- draw_down 6y agoLove that free trade!
- oyra 6y ago"it feels good". I mean, it feels good because they fight for truth. Those advertisement giants (we should stop calling them tech, btw, they aren't anymore), google, facebook, tweeter, didn't block a group that facilitated French teacher beheading, but sharply alerted by political view that doesn't match theirs.
- swiley 6y agoI wish I had archived the chemplayer videos now. I could never find anything else worth watching on that site but it really sucked when they deleted all his videos from youtube. I watch chem demos to fall asleep at night and it works super well and I've already gone through nilered/E&F/dug's lab.
- saganus 6y agoNile Red is amazing! I don't chemistry so most of the stuff I don't even understand, but I too, for some reason, enjoy watching his videos at night before sleeping. Not really as a sleeping aid, but they are so much different than other stuff I watch that to me it feels like taking a break. I guess it does for me what chick flicks do for my gf... if that makes sense.
- swiley 6y agoWho the hell flagged this? Even if bitchute is an irredeemable dumpster of hate speech this is kind of serious. This is part of the end of personal computers being a tool that extends yourself and the beginning of them being an ankle bracelet that corporations yank you back into line with.
- wbl 6y agoNothing says you have to do business with people online.
- Qub3d 6y agoPossibly because Bitchute may have not been "deplatformed"[0]. Bitchute themselves clarified in follow-up tweets that they don't know for certain why things went offline [1].

- anigbrowl 6y agoI did nazi that coming.
- kypro 6y agoAs a reminder, it's okay to oppose this deplatforming and dislike Bitchute as a platform. I'm saying this because I'm personally nervous to share this story on social media because I fear people will suspect I support the content on Bitchute. Macron recently spoke very articulately about why the speech itself irrelevant to the issue at hand [1]. If you believe in the principles of free speech you must also defend the speech of those whom you disagree with.

- richardARPANET 6y ago> I fear people will suspect I support the content on Bitchute. Do you support the telephone company providing a service to child molesters?
- Zealotux 6y agoWe should have a Godwin's law equivalent for the "think of the children" argument, Facebook, TikTok, and Twitter are the home of plenty of child abuse, I've seen it firsthand, shall we ban all social media? Shall we also ban all VPNs and internet companies as well? As well as TOR?
- eddof13 6y agoAbsolutely, as it's a utility
- genericone 6y agoI think you're getting downvoted because people think you don't support fully open telephone access. I don't quite understand which side you stand on though, good satire being indistinguishable etc etc, but I think you understand what's actually at stake.
- richardARPANET 6y agoI support freedom of speech.

- nacs 6y agoFor people who don't know what BitChute is: "BitChute is a video hosting service known for accommodating far-right individuals and conspiracy theorists, and for hosting hateful material." "The Southern Poverty Law Center wrote in 2019 that the site hosts "hate-fueled material", and the Anti-Defamation League wrote in 2020 that "BitChute has become a hotbed for violent, conspiratorial and hate-filled video propaganda, and a recruiting ground for extremists" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitChute https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitChute
- new_guy 6y agoThe ADL say that about ANY site that's even remotely critical of Israel. I've had the dubious honor of having my sites flagged by them as well.
- m0zg 6y agoSPLC? Really?
- deleted 6y ago[deleted]
- RedComet 6y agoWhat a fair, even, unbiased assessment.
- nacs 6y agoThese are copy-paste quotes from the first few lines of Wikipedia.
- RedComet 6y agoYes, they are.
- throwaway2048 6y agohttps://i.imgur.com/pZFZUsw.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/pZFZUsw.jpeg seems like a pretty fair assessment to me

- benmmurphy 6y agoLiberalism works at a international level because it is able to outcompete other alternative governments because it produces better outcomes. But at a national level liberalism is weak because liberalism is let a 1000 flowers bloom and anti-liberalism is about suppressing alternative memes. Liberalism can’t beat illiberalism at a national levels unless people are willingly to stand up and protect unpopular views.

- throwawaw 6y agoI'm not buying it. They're already back online after 90 minutes. What kind of deplatforming is that? Why not say who was responsible or post those juicy, juicy emails? This is a bad fit for deplatforming and a good fit for outrage farming.
- xupybd 6y agoYeah if it is true I want to read how they recovered so fast. That's an engineering feat.
- rutledge87 6y agoA few corporations have replaced public commons, leading to inverted totalitarian rule by fiat with an illusion of alternatives. Furthermore, the "liberals" nowadays differ markedly from the liberals years ago who wanted to and encourage debate. Instead, the circular firing squad keeps looking for the next victim to shout-down, take offline, and ignore completely because that's their strength: demolition.
