You misspelled "rapist and sex trafficker who looks like Gollum"
Why you gotta do my man Sméagol like that?
Now that's just unfair on poor Gollum... 😜
Dont insult gollum!!!
If I was locked in a room with Gollum, I wouldn't be afraid.
You should though. Not for the same reasons as Tate but you definitely should be afraid of being locked in the same room as a deranged and highly aggressive baby eater who is basically always going through violent withdrawal.
Ladies and gentlemen! Line up to see conservative influences turn against free enterprise if it means that businesses are allowed to deny service to shitbags, and then twist and contort themselves to support it once again when a bakery refuses to make a cake for a gay wedding!
But so many are shocked when they slowly turn the country towards fascism.
I wish them both a long and costly litigation.
Hey look, it's a miracle. A sack of shit has started to speak!
Oh...wait...it's just Andrew Tate, my mistake.
Why has nobody cleaned that thing off the surface of the Earth yet?
I hate both, so I enjoy seeing them fight each other.
Andrew Tate can suck my 'andy taint! I will happily fight this pedo/sex trafficker.
I'm 54, overweight, and out of shape, and I'll take this windbag out forever. Yeah, permanently.
He strikes me someone who would go down to the first punch. He talks far too big a game to be the genuine article
May they pay for their crimes they have committed and may they end up with incurable hemorrhoids the size of grapefruits.
As someone who used tiktok when he was a meme with the French song, it was a blatant action done against him. They (shadow) banned all the tiktok accounts making edits of him, they modified search results to put the official new sources relating to him at the top, hiding the user-generated content. Note, they did the same thing during the California wildfires to show only verified account videos to hide misinformation.
I think Tate is a grifter, but we really shouldn't let governments or big tech companies to artificially hide content because someone is a controversial figure.
You currently cannot search 'hitler' on tiktok at all. It's all a slippery slope that led to age verification, chat control, etc.
I hate that he is doing it, but this needed to happen sooner than later. I just wish it was someone that was ‘deplatformed’ for no good reason… they will find many reasons to deplatform him.
Private platforms have every right to ban you, even if they just don't like you or your political beliefs. Censorship is mostly happening by the government and systematic media.
And that is why federated platforms are so important. If most people don't wanna see someone's bullshit they can ban him. And he has the right to run his own instance.
Note that I'm not defending Tate here. Many of his words and actions are actually harmful or hateful and he deserves to be arrested.
But there's a line between "illegal/harmful" and "unlikeable" which we need to remember.
Good.
Censorship needs to end.
True. That guy is so censored, I read news every two weeks about him, with his words quoted. Must suck to be censored like that 😢
And for no reason too.
He did absolutely nothing to deserve it. A totally innocent dude who has definitely never committed any crimes ever.
Sure. Populism too.
