After seeing his popularity spike in recent months, he has bragged about his reach.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md\">Now, Tate has been barred from TikTok, Facebook and Instagram.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md\">In a statement to The Washington Post, a TikTok representative said Tate&#8217;s account was removed for violating the company&#8217;s policies that bar \u201ccontent that attacks, threatens, incites violence against, or otherwise dehumanizes an individual or a group\u201d based on attributes including sex.  Meta said it had removed Tate&#8217;s official accounts on Facebook and Instagram, pointing to policies against dangerous organizations and individuals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md\">Tate, a 35-year-old American-born, British-raised resident of Romania who ran an online \u201ceducation and coaching\u201d program called Hustler&#8217;s University, did not immediately respond to a request for comment Sunday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md\">Other social media influencers \u2014 along with several organizations that support survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence \u2014 had called for him to be booted off social media platforms.  Hope Not Hate, a Britain-based group that launched a petition calling for Tate to be deplatformed, described him as dangerous.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md\">\u201cThe effect that Tate&#8217;s brand of vitriolic misogyny can have on the young male audience is deeply concerning,\u201d Hope Not Hate said.  \u201cHis content is widely celebrated by his fans for having back &#8216;traditional masculinity.&#8217;  However, we also know that misogyny can be a gateway to other extreme and discriminatory views.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md\">The group noted Daily Beast reporting that Tate&#8217;s home in Romania was raided in April as part of a human-trafficking investigation.  No arrests have been made and Tate has denied wrongdoing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md\">Tate first gained notoriety in 2016, when he was kicked off the reality TV show \u201cBig Brother,\u201d the BBC reported, after a video surfaced that appeared to show him hitting a woman.  The pair later claimed that his actions were consensual.  In 2017, he sparked an online furor after posting on Twitter that women should take personal responsibility and protect themselves against sexual assault.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md\">In the thread, posted in reaction to the sexual assault claims against Harvey Weinstein, he wrote, \u201cIf you put yourself in a position to be raped, you must [bear] some responsibility.  I&#8217;m not saying it&#8217;s OK you got raped.\u201d  Twitter permanently suspended his account as a result, NBC News reported.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md\">Tate initially had a following among far-right circles on social media, NBC News reported.  He dined in 2019 with Infowars editor Paul Joseph Watson and \u201cPizzagate\u201d conspiracy-theory propagator Jack Posobiec;  Mike Cernovich, another proprietor of conspiracy theories, has called him a friend.  He made several appearances on Infowars.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md\">But it is in recent months that Tate has gone mainstream, as videos and podcast interviews featuring him took off on social media and he climbed in Google searches.  By August, he had more than 4 million Instagram followers;  videos tagged with his name had reportedly been viewed 12.7 billon times.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md\">His sudden ubiquity did not happen organically, the Guardian reported.  Paying members of Hustler&#8217;s University were directed to bombard social media platforms with his videos, selecting the most controversial to boost engagement in what experts described to the news outlet as manipulation of the algorithm.  Among videos that gained traction was one in which he advised his followers to \u201cslap, slap, grab, choke\u201d women in the bedroom and another in which he said he dates 18- and 19-year-olds because it&#8217;s easier to leave an \u201c imprint\u201d on them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md\">Many of the videos that have drawn viewers on TikTok appear to have been posted by Tate&#8217;s followers.  A TikTok spokesperson told The Post, \u201cOur investigation into this content is ongoing, and we continue to remove violative accounts and videos that promote misogyny and other hateful behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md\">Responding to criticism over his comments, Tate said in an interview with NBC News that he plays an \u201conline character\u201d and coaches men \u201cto avoid toxic people as a whole.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md\">\u201cIt has nothing to do [with] hate for women,\u201d he told the outlet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md\">Yet Tate&#8217;s influence caused enough alarm that an Instagram account aimed at classroom teachers created a guide for addressing his views with students.  Groups aimed at helping domestic violence survivors argued that allowing his comments to remain on social media platforms normalized misogyny and violence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md\">Zainab Gulamali, policy and public affairs manager at Women&#8217;s Aid in Britain, told the Daily Mail, \u201cMaking derogatory comments and videos about abusing women is as dangerous as it is unacceptable: This normalizes the misogynistic and sexist attitudes which are at the root of all violence against women and girls.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md\">\u201cSexist actions and language that reinforce women&#8217;s inequality have been tolerated for too long,\u201d she added.  \u201cIt is vital that we all challenge these deep-rooted misogynistic attitudes, which normalized women being emotionally abused, belittled and controlled, as well as physically harmed.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<section class=\"b bt bc-offblack dn-ns hide-for-print\" data-testid=\"mostRead\" subscriptions-section=\"content\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async defer src=\"https:\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comment on this story Comment In videos splashed across the internet, Andrew Tate, a onetime kickboxing champion turned self-styled men&#8217;s-help guru, has argued that women are the property of their husbands and should \u201chave kids, sit at home, be quiet and make coffee.\u201d He has claimed that he needs authority over the women he dates, &hellip;<\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more\"> <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/harchi90.com\/tiktok-deletes-account-of-andrew-tate\/\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">TikTok deletes account of Andrew Tate<\/span> Read More &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","spay_email":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":50980,"url":"https:\/\/harchi90.com\/andrew-tate-social-media-influencer-former-reality-tv-star\/","url_meta":{"origin":52441,"position":0},"title":"Andrew Tate &#8211; social media influencer, former reality TV star","date":"August 20, 2022","format":false,"excerpt":"Controversial social media influencer and former reality TV star Andrew Tate was banned from Meta platforms Facebook and Instagram on Friday.
