Typical bitch behavior that we've come to expect from big tech

Anti-competitive behaviour.

If this isn't illegal it should be.

Google is just digging their own grave doing this. They should NOT be allowed to own Youtube.

But are you going to buy it from them?

Ever heard of Anti-Trust?

It's time to start supporting alternative and decentralized platforms!

There have been so many DMCA requests and random takedowns in the last two weeks, it really makes me wonder what the deep state is planning for. Especially combined with Google's antitrust suit...

If people get off their phones, they won't be able to track.

[–]RightousBob 8 insightful - 2 fun8 insightful - 1 fun9 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

That's a weak strategy right there. The publicity of Alphabets censorship will simply drive more interest to bitchutes site. YouTube on suicide watch.

[–]insta 6 insightful - 4 fun6 insightful - 3 fun7 insightful - 4 fun -  (0 children)

Except it won't and YouTube will be fine.

[–]RightousBob 8 insightful - 2 fun8 insightful - 1 fun9 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Easy fix! Don't use Googleplay, use Apptoid and Fdroid or another app repository. There is always a work around for fuckery of this nature. Nobody is forcing you to use Alphabet products.

[–][deleted] 6 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

That's wrong but at least it's a trivial matter to download whatever apps you like from other sources for Android.

[–]SnowAssMan 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Um that's not a Youtube competitor.

Google is a private entity so the shareholder is always right. If the customers complain about Google supporting the app (for obvious reasons) then Google risks losing out on profits if it ignores them.

Google needs to keep increasing profits every year without exception (even if it earns 100 trillion dollars in profits one year, it'd still have to earn more than that the next).

That's not censorship. Censorship is when the intelligence community put pressure on Google to no longer support Iranian news outlets (making them un-Googleable) & Google complying with the demands.

Uh-oh! You can read naughty words about Jews there. Time to ban browser apps from the appstore too.

I maintain that if the Internet were released today there wouldn't be any WWW app that had a URL bar.

They complain about anti-Semitism but never address WHY people are anti-Semitic.

"Hate" doesn't just come from nowhere.

[–]VirgilGriff 5 insightful - 3 fun5 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 3 fun -  (3 children)

Why were the Jews expelled from 155 countries?

Oh, it's just because people separated by distance and time all came up with the same idea of being anti-Semitic for no reason whatsoever.

What are the chances of everyone coming up with that idea out of absolutely nowhere? That doesn't seem possible. Something must've given them that idea.

Well sure, something did cause that idea: at one point someone in the past noticed the Jews, who tend to be an identifiable and close-knit subgroup in any society, and thought they're a convenient scapegoat. That idea then spread like a virus. It just shows you how pernicious and persistent anti-Semitic ideas can be.

If ideas can be that pernicious, isn't it possible that Jews have pernicious ideas of their own which they continually share across time, distance, and the communities that you admit are close-knit and somewhat insulated? Isn't it possible that their own pernicious ideas and beliefs tend to create adverse reactions in society?

Oy vey, what an anti-Semitic thought!

All countries that ban Jews will be colonized by Jews.

Maybe it's their silly prophecies coming true. If they believe hard enough then maybe the goyim will actually be born hating them for no reason other than they are meshuganah.

Not being Jewish is racism against God.

This book builds upon my previous work, A People That Shall Dwell Alone: Judaism as a Group Evolutionary Strategy (MacDonald 1994; hereafter PTSDA). While PTSDA focused on developing a theory of Judaism within an evolutionary framework, the present volume focuses on the phenomenon of anti-Semitism. Judaism and anti-Semitism fairly cry out for an evolutionary interpretation. Anti-Semitism has been a very robust tendency over a very long period of human history and in a wide range of societies with different forms of government, different economic systems, and different dominant religious ideologies. Many anti-Semitic episodes, such as the Iberian inquisitions and the Nazi holocaust, have been characterized by extraordinary intra-societal violence. Moreover, anti-Semitism has sometimes been characterized by a very overt, self-conscious racialism—a phenomenon that immediately suggests the relevance of evolutionary theory.

Can someone explain what bitchute is, and how to access it?

It's a Youtube competitor that allows free speech.

Yes. Here's its Wikipedia page.

Bloody hell,somebody's bitter at losing viewers!

Just try the web version until you're satisfied it's OK. It's pretty much THE Youtube refugee camp.

Break up this monopoly!

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

If it were only that simple.

Standard Oil was broken into the Seven Sisters who became more powerful.

[–]Canbot 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

They did not become more powerful.

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

They are so impotent now. /s

They wouldn't have done it if it didn't serve their interests, including giving the illusion of fairness.

[–]Canbot 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

The government broke it up because it was in the government's interest to not have this giant corporation destroying the country.

That they are all still powerful does not show that they would be less powerful as one company. Frankly, that is an absurd conclusion.

Google is scared of alternative media

Break up big tech. Use a sledge hammer if you have to.

If Google hasn't been sliced up by anti-trust laws by now it's only because they're buying off politicians more than the public is making noise about it.

[–]ExecuteHomophobes 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Anti-trust laws are a joke. Look at the Disney-Fox merger.
