Jake Paul pleads with social media companies to unban controversial Andrew Tate

Jake Paul wants social media companies to backtrack on their decisions to ban controversial kick-boxing world champion Andrew Tate, despite the pair's fighting feud.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer used his platform of millions of followers to help share a message on Tate's behalf after he was removed from all major social media networks in an effort to deplatform him over unspecified terms of service violations. Twitter were the first to get rid of Tate long before his massive burst to fame, but were followed last month in a sweeping universal ban.

Tate claims that he was given no warning before Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and other outlets banned his accounts, and Tik Tok confirmed that he was not allowed on their website. He has since moved to Rumble and Gettr, which are more fringe sites, after sharing a final mainstream message through the likes of Paul and Twitch streamer Adin Ross.
