And it's even weirder how a lot of people seem to take his opinions very seriously even though it's pretty obvious, just by how extreme they are and the way that he phrases them, that the primary goal behind these opinions is to get attention and make people talk about him.What's even more weird is his audience I thought was teens, but I've seen a lot of tweets relating to it from parents talking about how their 11 and 12 year old sons are watching him. Yeah no, I think this asshole should in fact be censored. I wouldn't want my kid at 11 watching that shit. Remember how gullible you were at 11? or how little you knew? Yeah no, I'm actually in support of their decision if he's attracting pre-teens and younger.
I do think it's sad, however, that Meta thought that the right thing to do was to censor him. They have every right to do that, of course, but it does say a lot about what social media companies think about freedom of speech, and how biased they really are.

Even me I got back on IG because of my ex and I'm ready to get rid of it again. And yeah FB's been trash since like 2015, but it's a good communication tool for some.
Both platforms are pretentious one way or another, but that doesn't exclude the fact that Tate wrongfully exaggerates delicate matters just to be famous.

Ah you're being generous here. Anything for views I guess.

They're both private companies, and they can ban whoever they want.Tbh I haven't seen enough of him to see if he should be censored. He's still on TikTok where there's probably a lot more kids than on FB+IG so I'm surprised about that one.
If he wants to speak his mind, he can always do it somewhere else.
