Andrew Tate permanently banned from TikTok for breaking content rules TikTok\/UnsplashControversial content creator and former kickboxer Andrew Tate has been permanently banned from TikTok, the platform that largely helped him grow his online celebrity in the past six months. Formerly known as a kickboxer and contestant on reality show Big Brother, Andrew Tate shot to internet infamy in 2022, with TikTok a large component of his growth. In addition to his own account, lots of clips from his podcast and other appearances would go viral on the app, with TikTok\u2019s algorithm often recommending more and more of his content if you watched a couple of videos. But, on August 22, TikTok banned Tate\u2019s content, permanently. This follows his ban from Meta platforms Instagram and Facebook only days prior. Why did TikTok ban Andrew Tate? In a statement to the Washington Post, TikTok said Andrew Tate\u2019s account was removed for breaking rules on \u201ccontent that attacks, threatens, incites violence against, or otherwise dehumanizes an individual or a group.\u201d Videos with the hashtag Andrew Tate had been viewed over 13 billion times on TikTok. TikTok told The Independent that it is also working to remove clips of Tate\u2019s content posted on the app by other users. \u201cMisogyny is a hateful ideology that is not tolerated on TikTok. We\u2019ve been removing violative videos and accounts for weeks, and we welcome the news that other platforms are also taking action against this individual.\u201d The Andrew Tate hashtag is still visible on TikTok at the time of writing, but presumably it will be shadowbanned similar to how other controversial or dangerous hashtags have been wiped. Tate\u2019s Hustler\u2019s University program has also been shut down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
