This is disgusting censorship. They will claim "Hatespeech" or something similar which is a nefarious term to try and limit free speech.

Google shouldn’t have an obligation to host your apps or associate their brand with yours. The Android OS permits sideloading apps which Google doesn’t vet. Also BitChute is choosing not to show the attached image, thus concealing the full story from the public.

  Google have anointed themselves censor because of the way they built android. So now they do in fact have the obligation to host people's apps. If android were like windows and the main distribution channel for apps were the web it would be very different.

    Android is an open OS where vendors can and do customize their own vision of Android. It stands alone as the only open source mobile success. In fact, because vendors often make tasteless changes to the mobile OS experience, Vanilla Android is a selling point for Google phones. That Google pays for app-specific security infrastructure and deals with abuse claims is a service which Google provides. Google should be no more required to spend money supporting BitChute than Apple should be required to support Fortnite; and even Walmart ought be able to quit on a vendor for the mere reason that Walmart feels the good isn't "good enough" for their standards. > If android were like windows and the main distribution channel for apps were the web it would be very different. Whether or not the web is the main distribution channel for Windows is a story completely up for grabs, and Microsoft is leaning toward their store.

  True. But then Google shouldn't be allowed to limit the capabilities of other app stores - it's that simple.
