An outspoken hill farmer from north Wales has been thrown off video-focused social media TikTok for poking fun at vegans. In response to videos promoting the diet, Gareth Wyn Jones produced his own clips highlighting his love of a fry-up.
On Monday, the Conwy producer discovered he had been blocked from the platform, depriving his 15,000 followers of his videos on livestock farming. The farmer, from Llanfairfechan, claimed he was the victim of a began backlash by "powerful" campaign groups, NorthWalesLive reports.
Tiktok adjudged him guilty of "harassment and bullying" after he brandished a turnip in a video, explaining how vegetables were often fertilised by livestock manure. Within 24 hours the ban had been revoked following an appeal.
