Tate was previously banned by Twitter for his contentious views on victims of abuse. In fact, he had stated that the victims should ‘bear responsibility’ for the same.
In the same vein, his Instagram account with over 4.7 million followers was recently banned. Notably, the numbers had grown from 1 million followers in June, after Tate gained notoriety.

Meta revealed that Tate had violated its policies on dangerous organizations and people. However, Meta is yet to provide more information on the issue.
Rumble took to social media to announce that they wish to give Tate a platform. Moreover, the platform also mentioned that they do not believe in shutting down opinions.
Andrew Tate was not the only one supported by Rumble
It is worth noting that Rumble has also extended their support to many other celebrities. In fact, American podcaster Joe Rogan even received an offer to bring his podcast over to the platform.
At that time, Rogan was embroiled in controversy with the streaming platform, Spotify. Moreover, the massive public outcry against Rogan for spreading misinformation about Covid-19 is said to have paved the way for the same.
Additionally, he was also asked to remove around 70 episodes of ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ for the usage of offensive words.
