Controversial Influencer Andrew Tate Banned From Facebook & Instagram

Of course, there was the aforementioned Twitter ban over his hurtful and damaging comments, and now, Meta has given Tate the boot "for violating its policies on dangerous organizations and individuals," though they didn't provide any further details.

In her analysis of the American-British personality's removal from several social media platforms, BBC correspondent Marianna Spring quoted Hope Not Hate director of research, Joe Mulhall, who isn't a fan of Tate, to put it lightly.

"[He] poses a genuine threat to young men, radicalizing them towards extremism misogyny, racism and homophobia," Mulhall explained. "We've provided significant evidence to the major social media platforms, including Meta, about his activity and why he must be removed."



Hope Not Hate is happy to see Meta's swift action to remove Tate. "We'll be putting pressure on TikTok to follow this example. They must act now to prevent further spread of these extremist views," their director of research confirmed.

A spokesperson for TikTok told BBC, "Misogyny is a hateful ideology that is not tolerated on TikTok. We've been removing violative videos and accounts for weeks, and we welcome the news that other platforms are also taking action against this individual."
