Andrew Tate, a self-described misogynist and an online influencer with millions of followers, faces charges in several countries of allegedly causing physical harm, including rape and sex-trafficking women and girls.
Tate is a prominent figure in the manosphere, a loosely connected network of online forums and sites united by beliefs in male supremacy. This messaging has increasingly moved to mainstream platforms, as social media algorithms on sites like YouTube and TikTok steer young men and boys toward manosphere content sometimes within minutes of opening an account.
