censorship

Bad news - Bitchute has been banned. Some may still be able to receive it via VPN. Labour MP Sarah Champion is trying to ban VPN s. Lucky we have J.D. Vance keeping a watchful eye on the UK on free speech at least.

Thanks, I had never heard of Bitchute. But I just took a look using my VPN (via Albania!). Lots of conspiracy theory fare, by the looks of it. Not something I'd spend time on but I'd like the right and the choice. I was in Zimbabwe some time ago when there was a lot of civic unrest, the ZANU-PF government closed the Internet down completely. But those with VPNs could still get on. Zim never banned VPNs as far as I'm aware which speaks volumes about Sarah Champion, her party and this government.

Anna, your refusal to give any evidence of your ridiculous claim that people on the forum are paid to rubbish your posts is evidence that you make things up when it suits you. Your posts are rubbish.

Anna: Bad news - Bitchute has been banned.No bitchute has not been banned.  Bitchute has made the business decision not to make its website available to users in the UK in order to comply with the requirements of the UK Online Safety Act.To be clear I consider the Online Safety Act to be a stupid and danger piece of legislation which uses the trope of "protect the children" to, depending on the Apple court cases, spy on everyone.  I am pretty sure most of our MPs are too stupid to understand the implications of the Act

"I would not usually agree with censorship although there are a couple of posters on here who are the best argument in favour of it that I have come across. "Both of whom are in this thread.

The world is but a heartbeat away from Vance replacing the orange man-baby. It's ruddy frightening.

J.D.Vance is an ignorant, aggressive bully with a distinctly anti-European mindset. The most worrying thing about him is that he may be next in line for POTUS if the Democrats don't get a decent candidate lined up in the next couple of years.

JD Vance only goes on about free speech when it suits his political ends tohttps://www.qmul.ac.uk/media/news/2025/humanities-and-social-sciences/hss/censorship-abortion-and-the-threat-within-what-a-free-speech-expert-thinks-of-jd-vances-remarks-to-europe.htmlHe has a myopic attitude to free speech and expressing of views that don't align with the government's in Hungary for examplehttps://www.hrw.org/report/2024/02/13/i-cant-do-my-job-journalist/systematic-undermining-media-freedom-hungary
