YouTube has banned influencer Andrew Tate for violating its policies.
The Google-owned social media site took action following Meta’s decision to ban Mr Tate from Facebook and Instagram.
The former kickboxer rose to fame in 2016 when he was removed from TV show Big Brother over a video which appeared to depict him attacking a woman.
He went on to gain notoriety online – with Twitter banning him for saying women should “bear responsibility” for being sexually assaulted.
At the time of his removal from Big Brother, in 2016, Mr Tate said the controversial video had been edited, calling it “a total lie trying to make me look bad”.
Google, which owns YouTube, told the BBC: “We terminated channels associated with Andrew Tate for multiple violations of our Community Guidelines and Terms of Service, including our hate speech policy.
“If a channel is terminated, the uploader is unable to use, own or create any other YouTube channels.”
Mr Tate’s YouTube channels had more than a million followers between them.
TikTok has also banned an account belonging to Mr Tate as part of an ongoing investigation to remove content that violates its policies.
A TikTok spokesperson told the BBC: “Misogyny is a hateful ideology that is not tolerated on TikTok.
“We’ve been removing violative videos and accounts for weeks, and we welcome the news that other platforms are also taking action against this individual.”
On Instagram, Tate had 4.7 million followers at the time his account was removed. That number had grown rapidly from around one million followers in June.
Meta said it had removed the kickboxing star from its platforms for violating its policies on dangerous organisations and individuals, but did not provide further details.
