I was out walking the other day and I saw these beautiful crepuscular rays, it's not something I've seen very often in my years so I thought I would stop and take a video. In the opposite direction the moon was already out.

This is an old documentary that I once believed was lost, but fortunately, I've rediscovered it. I'm safeguarding it here since I couldn't locate it anywhere else on the internet. It's important to note that my decision to keep it doesn't necessarily imply complete agreement with its content. Nevertheless, it contains valuable information and offers a unique perspective from the year it was created.

I was late to learning this but I felt like mentioning it anyway. 2023 saw the loss of a legend. RIP Jim

We recently received an invitation to participate in an academic study led by Professor Stuart Macdonald, the individual featured in this video.

Despite my lack of familiarity with Professor Macdonald prior to this invitation, I am generally enthusiastic about contributing to academic studies, particularly when platforms like Bitchute can provide valuable insights.

However, after watching the video, I grew uneasy. Professor Macdonald advocates for restricting free speech not only in cases of direct incitement but also in what he terms as indirect incitement. According to his definition, determining indirect incitement transcends the words alone; it involves deciphering the speaker's intentions.

Although he concedes that a 280-character tweet lacks this power, this suggests that a longer text would meet the required threshold. Consider this: both you and I could write the same speech, and if law enforcement deems my intentions pure but questions yours, you might face legal consequences.

While I respect Professor Macdonald's right to advocate for this, I choose not to contribute to its realization.

A friend in Israel sent me this. I don't know enough about internal Israeli politics to confirm what she says, but there hasn't been a great deal of explanation elsewhere for the riots. I recommend everyone do their own research.

In November we did the first Bitchute spelling bee competition. It took place in a poor area in northern Thailand, the children were quite brilliant, and perhaps this will inspire them to improve their English language skills and maybe we'll see some of them back as future employees. We will certainly be doing more events like this in 2023.

This video was made by Pete from our support office. Thanks to all the Bitchute employees who donated their weekend to help make this possible.

Jon Stewart on how to deal with hate.

Hiding problems through censorship is like sweeping dirt under the carpet. It's still there and eventually, you will need to pick it up.

Over the years, Hope Not Hate have misrepresented BitChute by falsely claiming that it supports terrorist content when that isn't true. They also claimed that BitChute is far-right, also untrue, from the very beginning we have been politically neutral with founders who are libertarian or classically liberal. BitChute's community is a mix of different races, religions, genders, political opinions, and backgrounds. All are welcome, all are treated equally.

Hope Not Hate like to pretend that BitChute is uncooperative, but in fact it's Hope Not Hate that has been uncooperative with BitChute at every step. By their actions Hope Not Hate has caused BitChute many problems with suppliers, politicians, and the mass media. At times this has reduced our capability to add features, raise investment, and hire staff, including for content moderation, this is counterproductive to Hope Not Hate's stated goals.

BitChute has always banned terrorist content and has long-standing good working relationships with law enforcement in the UK who we have tremendous respect for. BitChute's moderation processes and technology have only gotten better, and will continue to get better. BitChute will never be deterred from supporting free speech by bully tactics or otherwise.

Despite the unfairness of all this, we are still willing to speak with Hope Not Hate and see if there is a better way forward. We may not be able to agree on everything, but there may be things that we can agree on, such as the efficient removal of terrorist content. If anyone from Hope Not Hate reads this, you know how to reach us.

We recently released a transparency report in-line with Tech Against Terrorism guidelines, it explains our moderation processes and provides information about the content we moderate, you can find it here: https://support.bitchute.com/policy/transparency-reporting
