BitChute
British video hosting service / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
BitChute is an alt-tech video hosting service launched by Ray Vahey in January 2017.[1] It describes itself as offering freedom of speech,[2][3] while the service is known for hosting neo-Nazis, harmful conspiracy theories, and hate speech.[lower-alpha 1][lower-alpha 2] Some creators who use BitChute have been banned from YouTube; some others crosspost content to both platforms or post more extreme content only to BitChute.[4][16] Before its deprecation, BitChute claimed to use peer-to-peer WebTorrent technology for video distribution,[1] though this was disputed.[17][18]
