Of course it's all bullshit. They're targeting anybody and anything that could allow users an easy escape from the ideological prisons they're constructing.
Yeah we've been marked, I can't even say we've been in much controversy compared to say Gab but it's clear there's a lot of people who do want us GONE!
Listed terrorist group, we can't legally host that content. We're planning a company move to the US for different reasons but until then if something is officially listed as a terrorist group in the UK we cannot host it or we will face jail time.
Wherever we are we plan to comply with the law as far as we are legally compelled to do so. We're currently sorting out new ways to take funds which are very robust and I expect we will get this in place soon, if the community supports us in this we'll fight on, if not we won't be able to. It's as simple as that.
If you'd like support, don't you think it's a good idea to make it clear what they'll be supporting? In that other post your wording makes you look like every other hosting company trying to become the next youtube.
Like I said above, if you intend to make an anti-censorship hosting service, say so. Explain your current limitations and what you intend to do to get around them in future.
Also, if you do intend to ultimately place limits on free speech on your platform (like I assume no childporn or possibly no porn entirely) explain what those limits will be to the community from whom you're asking support.
Once you've done that people will be in a much better position to decide whether to support you or not. Just banning select political groups and saying nothing about it makes you look an awful lot like every other free speech content platform that turned PC the moment they got popular.
How many other video services do you see on Voat answering questions?
You, now.
We did in our community guidelines.
You should explain the situation clearly on every page containing a banned video. Otherwise your message won't get across. Anyhow, you asked me a question and I answered it.
You’re going to get railed on by a few dicks around here until you’re firmly a free speech platform. Being as you said, a UK company, you are not. I don’t know if you noticed, but opinion of the UK is extremely low here. You live in clown system currently.
You guys could stop being massive dicks for two seconds and understand that he already addressed this and mentioned moving operations to the US. I don't understand why "we are legally obligated to obey the law" is so damn controversial.

You've been censoring political speech so you won't get much sympathy from me.

And voat hasn’t?

Example of them doing so?

But I thought the vids are torrented. How are you hosting the content? BTW Love the site but what @Broc_Lia brought up did piss me off.
BitChute ago
Doesn't matter. We're legally incorporated in the UK, no UK company can provide material support to listed UK terrorist organisations.
Rellik88 ago
Sorry for you UK guys. Your country is damn near lost. America is on its way.

If it's just a temporary measure that you plan to revoke in the future and do not support, you should say so very clearly in that statement.
Also, since you're moving to the US, what do you plan to do when you start getting national security letters.

What would you do in our situation?

Nice way to duck my question.
In our situation would you have removed the content or not? Knowing full well it is illegal and the penalty can be as much as 10 years in prison.
Broc_Lia ago
This was your question, I answered it.
Sure, then I'd have made it clear why I did so.
Look, do you want to score points or do you want to solve the problem? Because leaving your users in the dark about this has clearly caused a problem.

You’re definitely not talking about me.
