Hope Not Hate

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
