Perez Hilton explains why he\u2019s banned from Facebook YouTube: Perez HiltonPerez Hilton has announced in a live stream on YouTube that he has been banned on Facebook, and that he will subsequently take a break from social media. The tabloid journalist has been covering the escapades of celebrities on his self-titled blog site since 2004. While his site is still live \u2013 and, according to the \u2018About\u2019 section of the blog, amassing over 300 million views a month \u2013 Hilton has moved his reporting to social media platforms in recent years. However, his intense criticism has come back to bite him and he was permanently banned from TikTok where he had gained 1.6 million followers. In a nine-part video series posted to his second TikTok account, Hilton called upon internet royalty Charli D\u2019Amelio for help in getting his account reinstated. Hilton alleged that a TikTok representative informed him that he had violated \u201cmultiple community guidelines\u201d through posting nudity and bullying other members of the app. He\u2019d had public spats with some well-known names on TikTok including Claudia Conway and Charli D\u2019Amelio herself. Now, according to another long video uploaded to YouTube on December 17, he claims Facebook has also banned him from commenting and posting after he posted a link to an article from his website about a popular adult entertainment website. Like he did with TikTok, Hilton claimed the ban was unwarranted, saying, \u201cYou cannot talk about mature things on social media anymore, the censorship is out of control.\u201d He also added that \u201cFacebook didn\u2019t even give me the opportunity to appeal their decision. They didn\u2019t give me a way to reach out to them and say you made this decision in error.\u201d \u201cYou should be allowed to call out people for bad behavior,\u201d he said, \u201cand that is not bullying.\u201d While the ban is just 24 hours, he has said this means he\u2019ll be starting a \u201csocial media detox\u201d for a few days because \u201cThe universe keeps telling me to take it.\u201d Hilton\u2019s Twitter and YouTube accounts remain untouched by potential bans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
