Asmongold gives honest verdict on Andrew Tate\u2019s ban from TikTok, Instagram, & YouTube Twitch: Asmongold\/ YouTube: StandOutTVTwitch streamer Asmongold is the latest internet star to share his take on Andrew Tate\u2019s platform-wide bans, claiming that controversial figures should only be deplatformed for breaking the law. Andrew Tate has dominated the internet in recent months. It seemed as though every day the former kickboxing champion had sparked yet another heated dispute on social media due to his controversial comments, particularly over women. With the internet divided and concerns over the influence he could be having on impressionable young fans, social media platforms decided to do something about it. Adding to his indefinite Twitter suspension, Tate was subsequently banned from Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. However, according to popular MMORPG streamer Asmongold, deplatforming should be saved for individuals who use social media to \u201cbreak the law\u201d rather than having \u201cstupid\u201d opinions. Asmongold questions Andrew Tate social media ban When asked about his view surrounding Tate\u2019s ban from Facebook and Instagram, Asmongold claimed that platforms should reserve such drastic action for law-breaking individuals as \u201cfreedom of speech must be protected.\u201d \u201cShould having really stupid opinions be something that you be deplatformed for?\u201d the streamer asked. \u201cIn my opinion, it should be based off the law.\u201d He admitted that he wasn\u2019t entirely sure whether \u201cit was the right decision to ban\u201d Tate as he hadn\u2019t fully looked into his content, but added that he generally believes \u201cit\u2019s a bad idea for people to be banned off social media entirely whenever they did not break the law.\u201d Tate is currently under investigation reportedly following human trafficking and rape accusations in Romania which led to his home being raided by police, according to Daily Beast. He denies any wrongdoing. \u201cI think the stuff that he says regarding women is 100% wrong,\u201d Asmongold clarified. \u201cI think Andrew Tate is an a**hole [\u2026] but I think that the line for getting banned on those platforms should be breaking the law with those platforms.\u201d It\u2019s harder for Tate to reach out to his dedicated fanbase due to his various bans. However, with numerous influencers including him in their content, Tate continues to dominate the internet for now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
