The censorship tactic applies to all content posted from BitChute, essentially locking off one of the Internet\u2019s largest streaming services from Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>This represents a Soviet-style internet, in which the free flow of information is blocked off on grounds of political repression. This tactic may very well amount to anti-competitive practices, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sausageroll.com.au\/tech\/twitter-illegally-blocks-free-speech-video-site-bitchute-says-its-harmful\/\">could land Twitter in court,<\/a> with legal challenges to the Big Tech platform\u2019s monopoly growing.<\/p>\n<p>Twitter even disabled previews of BitChute content in the user\u2019s own tweet drafts on Friday, seeking to deplatform the service from sight on Twitter. BitChute has attracted a diverse range of viewers tired of YouTube\u2019s censorship, including libertarian vlogger Styxhexxenhammer666. It\u2019s the primary competitor to Rumble, another free speech video streaming platform.<\/p>\n<p>Content from BitChute can still be posted on Gab, a free speech social media network that allows its users to criticize US oligarchs and ruling elites without fear of censorship.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bigleaguepolitics.com\/twitter-bans-posting-any-links-from-bitchute-as-harmful\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the latest example of Big Tech censorship, Twitter is preventing users from posting links to BitChute <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39262,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[42],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-229519","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-controlling-the-news-andor-the-free-exchange-of-ideas-and-information"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229519","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/39262"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=229519"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229519\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":229522,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229519\/revisions\/229522"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=229519"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=229519"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=229519"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
