Kit Knightly – Off-Guardian April 17, 2025
Last week, alternative video-sharing platform BitChute announced they would no longer allow UK-based users to view content on their site.
The opening of their official statement makes the reason quite clear [you can read the whole thing here]:
After careful review and ongoing evaluation of the regulatory landscape in the United Kingdom, we regret to inform you that BitChute will be discontinuing its video sharing service for UK residents.
The introduction of the UK Online Safety Act of 2023 has brought about significant changes in the regulatory framework governing online content and community interactions. Notably, the Act contains sweeping provisions and onerous corrective measures with respect to content moderation and enforcement.
In particular, the broad enforcement powers granted to the regulator of communication services, Ofcom, have raised concerns regarding the open-ended and unpredictable nature of regulatory compliance for our platform.
The UK’s Online Safety Act officially came into force on March 13th, and has already been used to target social media platform Gab to the tune of 20 million dollars.
BitChute has every reason to believe they could be next. It has been an establishment bugbear since its inception, with semi-regular hit pieces claiming it is a site “where neo-Nazis can view terror atrocities”, that it “thrives on misinformation and hate” or is spreading “Kremlin-backed” propaganda.
And now it’s gone, from the UK at least.
What we’re seeing here is the first example of the kind of manipulative, indirect censorship OffG (and many others) have been warning of for quite some time.
There was no order, no Jack boots, no smashed servers and seized hard drives. Instead, the Online Safety Act simply makes the regulatory environment so hostile that producing – or even hosting – anti-establishment content is simply not worth the risk.
This works as a mutually beneficial agreement between the social media giants and the state.
Facebook, Google, YouTube et al. are likely bracketed under the OSA’s “recognised publishers” clause, and therefore exempt from “false communication offenses”. Even if they’re not, they have the resources and revenues to handle fines and legal fees, when their potential rival start-ups do not.
Essentially, the state will go after the small social media platforms to protect the tech giant monopoly, and then the social media giants pay back the favour by policing free speech.
BitChute is the first to go, it likely won’t be the last.
…might be time to invest in a decent VPN service.

“The UK’s Online Safety Act ” — And did anyone in the UK ask for this? No, yet you still got it thanks to the corrupted politicos.
They DID vote to stop the mass invasion from the turd world. Did they get it? No, thanks again to the same corrupted politicos.
And the unthinking still ‘vote’ ???? As I read here recently: “If voting mattered they wouldn’t allow”.
JILL DANDO -THE KIER STARMER CONNECTION
No one doubts the BBC is corrupt
in the late 1930s Lord Victor Rothschild installed several of his ” apostles ”
those homosexual left wing activists at the BBC and
in ww 2 troops knew it as ” bullshit time ”
The very motif over the door is of a man abusing a small child
this statue by Eric Gill who was known to abuse both his children and Neighborhood dogs.
The BBC hid up a host of sex crimes on children, Cliff Richard was assigned to find out why Jill Dando was taking notes on the perpetrators
Jill was shot in 1999 on her own doorstep, the word went out it was a serbian hitman,
a relative in the SAS says they were ordered to do it and then blame it on a patsy
and Barry George a local fantasist fitted the bill well
Kier Starmer as Director of public prosecutions was in charge of the Stephen Lawrence case and spent 25 milion pounds overs several years to find white boys to charge, the race card over this is played constantly
Did Kier Starmer order the death of Jill Dando ?
as head of public prosecutions he would have been in charge
If he hid up the crimes of Jimmy Savile Stephen Fry Paul Gambacinni etc
why not the killing of Jill Dando, after all
she was killed on his watch
whistle blowers are warned to stay silent
if they keep on they are killed off
the jews that run big pharma
have many deaths on their hands
there are those who will try and distort away from the real agenda
carl jones is one of these bullshitters

Common cooking ingredient linoliec acid linked to aggressive form of cancer, research reveals experts are warning against overusing these common cooking oils because they contain a fat that is reportedly linked to breast cancer.
Seed and vegetable oils don’t have the best reputation because experts often claim they trigger inflammation in the body.To further back up that claim, new research by Weill Cornell Medicine discovered that linoleic acid — a fat found in seed, vegetable and nut oils — causes breast cancer cells to multiply and grow.
There are different forms of breast cancer — and the constant use of linoleic acid puts women at risk of developing the most aggressive type: triple-negative.
unfortunately, this invasive form spreads faster and requires a harsher treatment plan — which might include a combination of chemotherapy, surgery and radiation therapy.
How long before Offalcom – the media enforcement-arm of UK STASI State – comes after the Commentariat at TTS?🤔
I’ve been looking forward to meeting some of you… so don’t forget to wave before they pull the trap-door… and you end-up looking something like this –>🤪
See Y’all on the gallows!😉
GAB has now also withdrawn its service to the UK. So much for living in a free society eh. It’s about time the lying bastards in the government answered to the people at the end of a rope.
HANG THE LOT of the parasitic scum!
Withdrawing from countries that have draconian censorship and punishment laws is a great idea. Maybe the people there will miss their favorites enough to force the govt to take away the laws. On the other hand, if all the illegals assaulting and killing the Brits doesn’t make them take action, what else possibly could?
Christians around the world observed Good Friday with processions commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus.
The Holy Week tradition is dedicated to the suffering of Jesus as he carried the cross for his crucifixion.
the jews one day will pay for this and the crimes they have committed to others
In Mexico, Catholics in the town of Taxco held an overnight procession, carrying crosses and flagellating themselves in a rite of sacrifice and atonement for their sins.
i wish some one would do that to carl jones
Pretty good 1984ism–they want to keep us SAFE from getting “radicalised” by facts or logic
The big menace of state cartel censorship aside, nothing a decent VPN won’t fix, no?
Grimsson has the right idea in his comment above – lots of rope with agents of treason and treachery dangling from the ends would go a long way toward ending the plague.
