TikTok Banned Andrew Tate

From his account on TikTok, a lot of clips from his podcast and other appearances would go viral on the app. TikTok’s algorithm often recommended more and more of his content if you watched a couple of videos.
But, on 22nd August, TikTok banned Tate’s content, permanently. This was followed his ban from Meta platforms on Instagram and Facebook only days prior.
Why TikTok Banned Andrew Tate?
In a statement which was given by the Washington Post, TikTok told Andrew Tate’s account was removed for breaking rules on “content that attacks, threatens, incites violence against, or otherwise dehumanizes an individual or a group.”
Videos with the hashtag Andrew Tate had been viewed over 13 billion times on the TikTok. TikTok told The Independent that it is also working to remove clips of Tate’s content posted on the app by other users.
“Misogyny is a hateful ideology that is not tolerated in the content of the TikTok. We’ve been removing violative videos and accounts for weeks, and we welcome the news that other platforms are also taking action against this individual.”
The Andrew Tate hashtag is currently still visible on the official TikTok at the time of writing, but presumably it will be shadowbanned similar to how other controversial or dangerous hashtags have been wiped from the Tiktok and presently this news has shocked everyone.
