BitChute welcomes the dangerous hate speech that YouTube bans If Parler <https://mashable.com/article/what-is-parler-explainer/> is a conservative alternative to Twitter and MeWe <https://mashable.com/article/what-is-mewe-network-explainer/> is attempting to replicate Facebook, BitChute is best described as the right-wing alternative to YouTube.
Hate speech. Neo-Nazi propaganda. Anti-Semitic QAnon conspiracy theories. Even terrorism. It's all there. And the platform keeps growing. Ben Horne, an assistant professor of Information Sciences at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, recently co-authored a study that examined BitChute videos, metadata, and comments from June 2019 to December 2019. The results were alarming. “BitChute hasn’t really received coverage like all those other alternative platforms,” said Horne. “It was relatively small when we started doing our data collection, but it's grown a lot since.” A week before the 2020 presidential election, he told me the platform grew rapidly after YouTube and other sites banned *Plandemic*, a viral film that spread COVID-19 conspiracy theories. “In terms of measuring hate speech, the first thing that we found was that there was more hate speech on BitChute than on Gab <https://mashable.com/category/gab/>,” explained Horne, referencing another alternative platform popular with the far right. “Gab had been receiving a lot of criticism for being very hateful and having a lot of hate speech ... but there was significantly more on BitChute." An August report by the Anti-Defamation League <https://www.adl.org/blog/bitchute-a-hotbed-of-hate> (ADL) found white supremacist channels racking up hundreds of thousands of views on BitChute. https://mashable.com/article/what-is-bitchute/ https://mashable.com/article/what-is-bitchute/ On Sun, May 9, 2021 at 4:19 PM Gmail <ironguard...@gmail.com> wrote: > > https://www.bitchute.com/video/PPqcvkxpHr7n/ > > > How many times can you be lied to, if you don’t know the truth?
