Why was Andrew Tate de-platformed?

The controversial internet personality grew in popularity this year due to his polarizing and radical views on a variety of topics. Tate also got together with Twitch stars Felix "xQc" and Adin Ross, which siginificantly boosted his viewership.

However, on August 20, Andrew Tate was suspended from Meta's social media platforms, Facebook and Instagram. This resulted in a snowball effect, with Tate being de-platformed from others as well, such as TikTok, YouTube, and more.

A few days later, Tate took to video-sharing platform Vimeo to share a "final message." During the hour-long address, the content creator provided his views on getting banned from several platforms and stated:

"There are very famous people who have much more. They have genuine criminal charges, there is very famous people who have genuine accusations. They're still on Instagram! I have none of these. None!"

He went on to say that he didn't feel the action was fair:

"I understand that social media companies feel responsible for the national consciousness and the national opinions and actions because of their large levels of influence. However, I don't think it is fair that I'm being vilified and blamed for something that isn't true or wasn't even me."

Andrew Tate also commented on his TikTok ban, claiming that he has become the "face of evil" as a result of misunderstood and out-of-context TikTok clips:

"It's just misunderstood clips on TikTok. It's crazy to me I've become the face of evil, with misunderstood, out-of-context clips on TikTok, with no criminal charges."

Tate's Twitter unban continues to make headlines as hundreds of thousands of community members weigh in on the situation.
