    Youtube is nothing of the kind anymore forget the YOU big media platforms have been given unfair advantage on Youtube.

    Is it time video sharing sites like BitChute which works under peer to peer sharing was allowed to be embedded here?


    We discuss current affairs here and Youtube is no longer fit for purpose in my opinion.

    This video is banned on Youtube for example if you disagree with something post you counter argument censorship belongs in North Korea and China not Europe.

    Since when are conspiracy theories and the con artists who peddle them current affairs?

    If people are gullible enough to follow or believe them you have a platform.

    Millions of videos on that site.

    As regards conspiracy stuff if it can be debunked it is best to debunk it not ban it.

    This is a good video from an Irish poster.

    Am aware of the site, it's popular enough with some posters on here, others have described it as breitbart for people who can't read.

    I've no interest in it personally as I don't dislike anyone just because they are a particular religion or colour, and the other crazies on there are of no interest either apart from having to deal with the technical fall out from people who believe them, and thankfully anyone I know aren't stupid enough to not vaccinate their kids unless they can't be due to medical reasons.

    Bitchute is for flat-earthers and people who shouldn't be trusted with sharp pencils.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,184 ✭✭✭riclad


    I think youtube is right to ban extremists and people who push conspiracys or fake news
    . I looked at bitchute. I,m not impressed by any site that shows Alex Jones videos. There's a whole industry of people who post fake news and racist extreme right wing
    content. It's not easy to get banned by youtube.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,482 ✭✭✭Kidchameleon


    Did not know Boards will not allow BitChute to be embedded. That's pretty pathetic. Once one is not inciting violence they should be free to say whatever they want. To ban people exercising free speech is a very very slippery slope.

    Do you think the mainstream media outlets who pushed the Trump/Russia fake news* should be banned also?


    *Everyone knew from the outset it was a bs story

    Posting a link instead of embedding a link in no way impinges anyone’s freedom of speech.

    You mean the investigation that resulted in convictions for a variety of Trump’s closest advisors?

    Yes that investigation. It was spun by the media in an attempt to influence the 2016 election. I get it, you dont want to believe it. Its fine believe what you want. Orange man bad.

    I picked up the OP as BitChute was not allowed here. My bad. Is there any reason why BitChute cannot be embedded on Boards? Is it just a software issue or an ideological one?


    By the way, an embedded video will get more traction than a simple link. Whilst only allowing links as opposed to embedding for ideological reasons would not be preventing free speech, it certainly would be curtailing it.

    I fair amount of those Bitchute videos have donation and PayPal links.... woke people need to buy stuff too ....

    Is he the same wizard who was at a Gemma protest outside google explaining how cloud computing was actually nano chips that were spread by chemtrails and Google were the main culprits ... who would have thought that cloud computers were actually a cloud !!!

    Why haven’t the science and technology reporters in RTÉ been telling us this ?

    Have you ever considered googling the basic facts of what you’re talking about before getting things wildly wrong.

    The Russia investigation we’re talking about didn’t begin until May 2017... so how exactly was it used in the media in 2016?

    Just looked him up :pac::pac:


    He's got 442K subscribers on YouTube

    How many do you have ?


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,878 ✭✭✭Robert ninja


    Youtube will be overwhelming popular but it's good to have alternatives as backup when needed. I don't know why anyone wants google to police them. They've had to pay millions in fines for privacy violations to the EU and have repeatedly been exposed to have a discriminatory political agenda. Say what you want about people you don't agree with online but don't pretend Google is any better.

    "professor Cahill...who has also been interviewed on grand torinos channel" well thats all the iron clad verification of her qualification that I need :rolleyes:

    A lot of posters here seem to agree with censorship and that is scary.

    Freedom of speech must always be protected.

    Its yourself who is misinformed. I don't care when the investigation began, the media have been insinuating links between Trump and Russia since the early days of the campaign. It all started as a way to deflect from Hillary's email server leak.

    I absolutely agree with this, doesn't change that bit chute is full of nut jobs.

    Isn’t she tied in with the Irish freedom party ... the one with Hermon Kelly and Ben Gilroy as candidates at the last election ... no wonder her stuff is being shared widely by all the usual suspects

    I’m giving you actual, verifiable facts and you’re giving ideology-driven babble.
