This has been standard operating procedure at Twitter long before Musk: https://reclaimthenet.org/twitter-censors-all-links-to-bitch...

And at Google as well: https://reclaimthenet.org/google-play-bans-bitchute-app/

Edit: And at reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Tartaria/comments/ktwypc/warning_re...

What's the connection you're making between Mastodon and BitChute? I'm missing it.

Even if this specific case existed pre-Musk, it's been clear through his actions that free speech was just a ruse to distract from his censoring of critical opinions of himself.

Just recently an account that tweeted a video of elon musk being booed was suspended.

Just another reason why we should have OPEN SOURCE platforms that are hosted on thousands of domains.

Here you can use this to build your own Twitter, complete with video broadcasts peer to peer: https://github.com/Qbix/Platform

I think the idea is that BitChute tries to position itself as an alternative to YouTube, and Google (as the owner of YouTube) is doing its damnedest to prevent people from using the alternative. Replace BitChute with Mastodon and Google/YouTube with Twitter and its a similar pattern.
