Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan Tate — far-right influencers, former kickboxing champions, self-described misogynists, and men who are facing multiple charges of rape, human trafficking, and sexual assault — are suing Meta and TikTok for banning their social media accounts in 2022.
Andrew Tate was originally banned from Meta for violating its policies "on dangerous organizations and individuals," the company told the Guardian by email in 2022. TikTok and other social media platforms banned him for similar reasons.
"Misogyny is a hateful ideology that is not tolerated on TikTok," a TikTok spokesperson told NPR at the time. "Our investigation into this content is ongoing, as we continue to remove violative accounts and videos, and pursue measures to strengthen our enforcement, including our detection models, against this type of content."
The brothers were also banned from X but were later reinstated after Elon Musk acquired the company. Andrew Tate currently has 10.7 million followers on the platform, while Tristan has 3.4 million.

Before the bans in 2022, they had millions of followers on TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram as well.
Last week, they filed two lawsuits in the Los Angeles County Superior Court accusing TikTok and Meta of defaming and unlawfully "deplatforming" them, according to NBC News. The Hill reported that the suit alleges a "coordinated campaign to suppress, silence, and destroy the reputations and livelihoods" of the brothers. They're seeking more than $50 million in damages from both companies, NBC News reported.
"This campaign was carried out not merely by private actors, but in concert with government officials, media operatives, and ideological pressure groups — thus transforming Meta into a state actor for purposes of constitutional liability," the filing stated, according to The Hill. Their suit against TikTok used similar language.
Meta and TikTok did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Mashable.
The lawsuits don't mention YouTube, but the brothers were also banned there in 2022.

Sick and twisted.
ReplyDeleteGo sit in a bucket of ice cream if your butt hurts so much!
DeleteI thought “alpha males” didn’t cry.
ReplyDeleteThe lawyer who filed this suit should lose their license. Private companies have no obligation to do business with you
ReplyDeleteyup.
DeleteTell us you do not know how a proper legal system works. Meta and Tictok can countersue and they should.
DeleteOn the contrary the lawyer is the only one winning.
DeleteWho?
ReplyDeleteIt’s to fuel theirs and Farage’s narrative in the lead up to the elections. Hopefully the media will do a blackout on it until verdict.
ReplyDeleteWith the current sociopolitical climate, they figure it's worth a shot 😒
ReplyDeletemaking hate great again.
DeleteYup. That's their thing. Always was.
DeleteI find pretty well they got sued by the monsters they fed with their sick algorithm practices.
ReplyDeleteIt's as hilarious as those claiming the right to free speech on Social Media platforms.
ReplyDeleteSo ein Opfer.

ReplyDeletethat’s not how that works
ReplyDeleteMeta and Tiktok should troll them with a check looks like a QR Code
ReplyDeleteI bet Zuckerberg will spend that on the legal team to laugh these two muppets of the courtroom.
ReplyDeleteJust a half brained person like him or his presidential equivalent could think that’s possible. But probably it’s just a publicity stunt and they have no actual aspiration to win.
ReplyDeleteThis is so “alpha male” of him. 🤣
ReplyDeleteGood luck suing the Chinese!

ReplyDeleteThank you to every male commenter on here ripping these two to shreds! 😎
DeleteSocial media platforms are private companies, not public squares. Under Section 230 of the U.S. Communications Decency Act, they have broad legal protection to moderate, restrict, or ban accounts at their discretion. That means they’re generally not liable for user content or their moderation decisions.
ReplyDeleteit's not about the Law, they just trying to keep themselves relevant 🥱🥱
Deletethey’ve never been relevant just loud
DeleteWhy's he not suing the Matrix? 🤔
ReplyDeleteThat was funny. 😂
DeleteIs that it. 100 million.
ReplyDeleteThey’re under no obligations to platform chuds.
ReplyDeleteThis trafficker needs to be in prison!
ReplyDeleteThey should just apply for jobs in the Repiblican Party. The Party of Pedophiles and Sexual Abusers.
ReplyDeleteIdiot 🤦 private company, their rules, stfu
ReplyDeleteF**k these guys
ReplyDeleteMaybe he should just not have been a douchebag in the first place? Ps. He and everyone else signed the terms and conditions which I am sure he never read. Pretty well stated what you could and couldn’t do and what happens when you break the rules. I hope his lawyers charge him a million dollars for the nothing burger lawsuit and the 0 dollar judgement
ReplyDelete💯

ReplyDeletethey need to pull themselves up by the bootstraps ffs! 😂
DeleteThank you to every male commenter on here ripping these two to shreds! 😎
ReplyDeleteInteresting....so he does recognise the legal system exists? For a minute there I had my doubts he was aware there are laws in place to prevent people from doing vile stuff to others. Or maybe he has realised he needs to start paying tax like the rest of us and needs some money as the bros have realised he's a douche bag and aren't paying for his online BS anymore.
ReplyDeleteThe rest of us? Majority of Americans don't pay any tax at all. If you include the Mexicans its like 2/3s don't pay taxes

ReplyDeleteDoesn’t mean you will win.
You’re a sexual predator and a jackass! I hope every form of social media keeps you banned
Where are the judges tossing this case out? They are really good to dumb Donny for some reason. Tossing a half billion dollar fine? Guess someone got a briefcase raise.
ReplyDeleteThey both should be rotting in prison.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't he have a jail sentence to serve for rape?
ReplyDeleteGet fcked you ugly bald pedo/rapist POS!

ReplyDelete🤡
ReplyDeleteFoul POS
ReplyDeleteI’m pretty sure liability waiver is covered in the user agreement.
ReplyDeleteHe should be shot. But prison for life would suffice, we should not be entertaining his crap or even platforming his antics. Let the chinless 🍇 er fade into obscurity where he belongs as nothing but a lesson in how NOT to behave.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how sometimes you know how disgusting a person can be by only seeing their face.
ReplyDeleteBeta b#tch snowflake ped0s understand the law as much as they understand being dudes 😂🤡
ReplyDeleteSuing a Private Company?? Good luck
