When well-known social media services block actors of extremist scenes, they look for alternative platforms. As part of a larger research project, jugendschutz.net examined BitChute as a video portal and presents its findings in this Insights session. Which actors act with which kind of content on the platform? How compliant is this content with the platform's own guidelines? How does BitChute react to violations - both proactively and in response to user reports?
