Young men NOT radicalised by Andrew Tate

Andrew Tate has joined anti-cancel culture platform Rumble.

It comes after the former kickboxer turned social media influencer was banned from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Facebook for breaching rules on harmful content.

Since joining the site, daily active users on Rumble surged 45.3% compared to the previous week, according to data collected by digital intelligence company Similarweb.

Mr Tate first came to prominence when he appeared on the TV show Big Brother in 2016, but was removed from the programme after a video surfaced online which appeared to show him attacking a woman with a belt – a clip he claimed had been edited.

Since then, he has gained further notoriety online for a string of comments about women, including suggesting that they “bear some responsibility” if they are assaulted – an incident which led to him being banned from Twitter.
