Ray Vahey is the founder and CEO of BitChute, a video-sharing platform created to champion free expression and resist the increasing push for digital censorship. A software engineer by training, Ray launched BitChute in 2017 in response to growing deplatforming and algorithmic suppression on mainstream tech platforms. Under his leadership, BitChute has grown into one of the most recognized platforms for censorship-resistant content, serving tens of millions of users monthly. Unlike many Silicon Valley CEOs, Ray has taken a bold and principled stand for digital freedom, refusing to install monitoring or compliance tools even under government pressure. In 2025, BitChute became the only major platform to fully withdraw from the UK rather than comply with Ofcom’s demands under the Online Safety Act. This move made headlines worldwide and established Ray as a global thought leader in privacy rights, decentralization, and civil liberties. We have a new show on Lions of Liberty!
