Without providing much detail, Facebook and Instagram parent company Meta said it banned Andrew Tate for violating its policies on dangerous organizations and individuals, suggesting that Tate was a potential danger to other users. According to Tate’s July statistics, the livestreamer received 11.6 billion views, though many critics of his content point to misogynistic comments from Tate like saying women “belong in the home,” and are “man’s property,” which may have contributed to his Meta ban. It’s currently unclear if Tate’s Facebook and Instagram will be reinstated eventually or if he’ll be off theMeta platformsfor the foreseeable future.
Live on stream with Adin Ross, Andrew Tate stated he was understanding of Meta’s position with banning him from Facebook andInstagram, and he suggested that it isn’t a significant loss to him. The popular livestreamer may continue to stream on his Twitch and YouTube channels that haven’t been banned, but there may be a number of viewers that are clambering for his ban across the board and are waiting for bans beyondFacebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
