Jake Paul has taken to Twitter to throw his support behind Andrew Tate after he was banned from Facebook and Instagram.
Tate, a four-time kickboxing world champion who has gone viral on social media with his controversial world views, was banned from Facebook and Instagram on Friday.
It was claimed that he violated the platforms’ terms of service, but there have been those who have argued that this is a crime against freedom of speech.
One of those to share their support for Tate in wake of his suspension is Jake Paul, who is no stranger to being the centre of controversy on the internet.
Both of these statements are true:
1) I don’t agree with a lot Andrew Tate’s opinions
2) I don’t agree with censorship
Who is with me?

Tate’s views were dangerous and damaging, with there being no regard for the age of some of his viewers, particularly in the viral clips on TikTok.
However, you can certainly see why some have branded this is unacceptable censorship from Facebook and Instagram, who have been accused of such before.
Whether Tate’s accounts will be reinstated remains to be seen, but let this be a message for all, you can’t say anything you like online and expect to get away with it…
