Bias?
edit"The platform also hosts misinformation related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The conspiracy theory video Plandemic has been viewed on BitChute millions of times after having been removed from other platforms for spreading medically harmful misinformation."
My quotes and my bold above. Wouldn't it be better to include any original sentences that contain those words as quotes directly from the articles to make it clear that those word choices are the opinion of the original writer rather than that of the Wikipedia editor of the article? The way this section is written now clearly shows personal bias in my view. "Conspiracy theory" has the tinge of bias about it as well, though I guess one could make the argument that the producers of Plandemic did indeed propose a theory (actually a hypothesis) dealing with what they maintain is a conspiracy. Pretty obvious that term was included as a means of attacking not only the video's content, but the Bitchute platform itself. RRskaReb talk 08:58, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- You'll find that Plandemic is described as a conspiracy theory on it's own article because we have plenty of reliable sources that describe it as such. OhNoitsJamie Talk 03:10, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
- No the entire section is up for removal. The site has taken neutrality as their stance, so we need to include Verizon and AT&T for having users that were on other sites also sign up on this site . Has zero relevancy. Objective Reason (talk) 15:01, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
