BitChute, the pro-free speech alternative to YouTube, has decided to stop operating in the UK for fear of being censured – and fined – by Ofcom, following the regulator’s acquisition of sweeping new powers under the Online Safety Act. No doubt BitChute will be the first of many American social media companies to stop offering their services in the UK as a result of the Online Safety Act. Since March 17th, Ofcom can fine social media companies up to 10% of their annual global turnover if they fail to comply with the Act. A dark day for freedom of speech.
