Tate told the Twitch streamer that he doesn’t know why he was banned from the Meta platforms. But went on to say that he has “good people on the case” and that he trusts “Due process.”
“I’m quite understanding of their position, It’s not a big loss for me. It’s not something I use too often.”
“I’m kind of relieved because the real world is such a beautiful place. The less things on my phone and it’s just one less thing I have to look at. I’ll just get in my supercar and go for a drive.”
Tate’s got famous by appearing as a contestant on the UK version of “Big Brother” in 2016. Later he got kicked from the show after allegedly kicking a woman.
Twitter suspended Tate's account for saying that women should “bear responsibility” for being sexually assaulted in 2017.
Tate’s popularity grew amid outlandish antiwomen comments like “intrinsically lazy"
Tiktok also banned Tate's account due to his hatful ideologies and removed videos.
