Andrew Tate, a 'dangerous misogynist,' has been banned from Instagram and Facebook.



In a statement to the Guardian, Tate defined some of his films as parodies, adding that he was "playing a hilarious role."


"Internet sensationalism has created the illusion that I am anti-women," he said, adding that he has donated to women's organisations. "I am absolutely blameless."


Tate has appeared on various right-wing podcasts, including Infowars, which is hosted by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, and was a vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump. With more than 4.7 million Instagram followers at the time of his removal from Meta sites, Tate has suddenly become "impossible to miss" on social media.


Tate's official account has also been suspended by TikTok, and the platform is working to remove anything connected to him that violates their rules. Videos about Tate have had over 12.7 billion views. The UK advocacy group Hope Not to Hate referred to Tate as a "dangerous sexist" and urged other social media networks to deplatform him.


A spokesman for TikTok said, "Misogyny is a terrible philosophy that TikTok does not accept." "We've been removing infringement-related videos and accounts for weeks, and we're happy to learn that other sites are also taking action against this person."


In an earlier version of this article, it was incorrectly claimed that Tate had a TikTok account. This is untrue. It was sarcastic in nature. The narrative now makes up for that.
