A YouTube channel associated with Andrew Tate, an online influencer and self-described misogynist, was disabled on Aug 22, as Google’s video website joins a growing list of social media platforms taking action against the personality in the last week.

The list of apps that previously banned Tate, a British-American former kickboxing champion who has been heavily criticised for his sexist commentary, includes Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Twitter over violations of policies including those around hate speech or ideology. Notably, an account associated with Tate remains on one major social media platform: Amazon.com Inc’s video livestreaming site Twitch.
