BitChute : a YouTube without censorship based on BitTorrent – ZDNet France

The BitTorrent protocol allows for a few years to do streaming in peer-to-peer. The principle is to transform each owner of a content broadcaster via a software client. Today, this principle is also stated by the creators of BitChute, a YouTube alternative, but in the hands of its users.

The main objective is to allow and evade censorship heavy, and its overwhelming hegemony on the video streaming of the subsidiary of Google.”The idea came to us in seeing the rise of censorship in recent years on the media platforms,” says Ray Vahey, the creator of this platform.

This last one looks like two drops of water on YouTube, with the difference that each user becomes a provider… This is the principle of BitTorrent : accommodation decentralized where each upload and sharing its content automatically with other users from the browser.

For the moment, the service appears limited to a few thousands of users accredited but a wider opening should not be long. Remains the sensitive issue of piracy, as it seems clear that protected content could quickly multiply to the chagrin of the copyright owners.
