[CENSORSHIP] (((Bitchute))) has moved more aggressively towards censorship.

Post by MadWorld »

Found this on preview chatroom:
antiliberalsociety (3.5 hours):

It's time to leave bitchute. As of yesterday they have BANNED the search terms "Holocaust", "Auschwitz", "Hitler", "gas chambers", and "Anne Frank" in response to this. This is NOT a matter of the search results not working. Two days ago I specifically searched "Hitler", "Hitler speech", etc. many times and it worked. This was done IN RESPONSE to what's discussed in this video https://www.bitchute.com/video/EWxvWfmKGR6p/ BitChute

webrustler (2.4 hours):

The writing has been on the wall since at least two months when I noticed they started censoring uncomfortable vids.

webrustler (2.4 hours):

Cohencidently, the "percent financed" icon in the top bar has vanished.

webrustler (2.4 hours):

Your first link: "This video is unavailable as the contents have been deemed potentially illegal within your country by our moderation team."

webrustler (2.3 hours):

Replacement? https://archive.org/details/davidirving ... ory_201909

antiliberalsociety (1.5 hours):

Interesting, I wonder who the "angel" was...

antiliberalsociety (1.5 hours):

Archive also purges wrongthink

antiliberalsociety (1.5 hours):

They deleted most of the Johnny Rebel songs

QANQN (38 minutes):

I LIKE SUGAR AND I LIKE TEA
Search terms result in:
0 holocaust
[strikethrough]0 auschwitz[/strikethrough] 3 auschwitz
0 hitler
0 gas chambers
0 anne frank

(((BitChute))) has previously removed 80+ thousands of videos archived on Voat Channel.


Similar group(s) has also targeted archive.org, on the ground of antisemitism, extremism, and terrorism bullshits.

@antiliberalsociety

Edit:
(((Tory MP))) on Bitchute Holocaust denial videos (catbox, wayback)

Edit2:
Something is weird, searched "hitler" but returned "auschwitz" query, and search "anne frank" returned "auschwitz" query. Now it also has 3 results too.

Edit3:
Search results without archive
0 holocaust
3 auschwitz (could be re-uploaded because the videos are 4 hr, 7 hr, and 1 day 1 hr old respectively. Two videos are unrelated DC footage.)
0 hitler
0 gas chambers
0 anne frank

Did a little test, just now.
I believe the picture is pretty self-explanatory.

I did a test too, Auschwitz showed results, so that isn't 100% accurate.

I saw 3, count them, 3 result**S**, plural.

https://www.bitchute.com/search/?query= ... kind=video

Oddly they all have [brackets], I wonder if that's a glitch.

Something is weird, it now returns 3 results but on different search terms.

Do we know who made the voat archiving bot in the first place? I was always wondering why it was turned off.

Anyway, two temporary workarounds provided the vids haven been delisted yet.

Use Asterisks in the Bitchute search filed. It bypasses the word filter apparently.
https://www.bitchute.com/search/?query= ... kind=video

Or tinker with search string modifiers with your preferred search engine.

BitChuteArchive bot was created by BitChute. If I remember correctly, it relied on a third party tool, which stopped updating/working in the early 2020. According to SearchVoat archive, the bot stopped archiving at 2020-04-07. The main account was nuked on 2020-07-23. While the recent change may be just delisting the videos, but the ones archived by the bot were all nuked at the time. According to the archive.org timestamp, the channel disappeared sometime between 2020-09-22 and 2020-12-23

https://web.archive.org/web/20200811010 ... atarchive/

https://web.archive.org/web/20201223093 ... QZJP82B3g/


While the videos were deleted earlier, the search results remained valid at least up to 2020-12-12. And now even the generic search is gone.

https://web.archive.org/web/20201212021 ... o&sort=old

https://web.archive.org/web/20210131225 ... o&sort=old

It also refused to show rest of the items, as pointed out by @La_Chalupacabra earlier.

https://web.archive.org/web/20210131232 ... o&sort=old

Edit: just to be clear, in search of "voat" term, only 4 items are allowed to be shown. Yet, BitChute's Voat profile page said:
A p2p video sharing platform that puts respect for people and #freedomofexpression first #AltTech

I didn't want to elaborate till I had investigated further, but I said delisted and not deleted for a reason. Because the MP4's are still there.

Last ever Voatarchive vid.
https://web.archive.org/web/20200922011 ... QZJP82B3g/

Right click it and chose "view page source". Then Ctrl + F and search for mp4. There you will find this link which is playing regardless of the channel being gone.
https://seed177.bitchute.com/JWa8508Pdo ... P82B3g.mp4

Unfortunately it does require you have an archived link to extract it from. Archive.org works, but that has next to zero vids archived. Google cache works as well, but good luck finding Hitler/holocaust/Auschwitz links via them. Archive.today would have been ace to set up some quick and dirty backup links, but that doesn't save the seed link.. So yeah, I kinda ran into a wall. I'm all ears if anyone got ideas on where else to find archives/cache of now dead Bitchute links or see something I'm overlooking.

So the seeds are likely still available hidden somewhere. I wish the account was archived just like a regular user. Because it was a bot, it was added to the whitelist. As a result most BitChute video pages were not archived. It seems as good as gone for now.
