Do you think there should be silence surrounding the banning of certain celebrities?

Example... This Tate guy!
He's under investigation for serious crimes, posted really disgusting content...
Should accounts of people like this be removed with no announcements?

Should we let the police do their jobs and any convictions be known via press release only?

If they were criticizing in an intelligent way and they got banned I'd have an issue but this isn't just criticism, it's borderline criminal. Like when Tate suggested that women are to blame for their own rape and stuff. That kind of speech has catered to various cultures like when Middle East politicians or politicians from India say that exact kind of stuff and as a result, women suffer because it's seen as the "norm."

I think there's a fine line to walk but at the end, if I owned Instagram I would probably ban people like that. I understand that not everyone will agree but that's where I stand.

@SatanBurger I agree.
Cancel and silence them

What an utterly complete sociopath. The same social media that made him famous has now all nearly banned him.

Consequences will always exist. Cant really control how those play out. Only knowing that they will.

I could have done without the Depp and Heard trial. And Kevin Spacey the homo rapist is another. And Danny Masterson from that 70s show is now on trial for rape. So many idiots.

@ScarletWitch Tate, easy to find him. Look for a bald guy with the attitude of long haired guy.

What's he done other than be a silly insecure little boy?

Private companies have the right to ban whomever they want. We don't have free speech within private companies.

The tricky thing with Tate is that he himself doesn't monetize his content. He has no Instagram channel or Facebook or Youtube. All of his content is spread organically by people who want to see it. So banning his content won't change anything. People will still post interviews and reactions from him and the root of whatever problem exsists will still be there. In fact banning his content will make him into a matyr or hero.

@REMsleep I personally think people like this should be silenced and disappear silently. Yes once convinced it's important it's reported but all this posting and reposting of his senseless harmful content is unnecessary.
He was an example as he's the latest addition.
But even with the other names like weinstein and spacey etc. Theres just too much talk about it.
We should know once they're convicted.
If they really need to appeal to the public to come forward then that's different but all this digging that non professionals do is really unnecessary!

Don't care about celebrities...

Mellowgirl · 31-35, F

@Zonuss Well this might bother you if they're influencing your kids or kids friends

Who is this ?

@bijouxbroussard I had to look him up, because I was unfamiliar. He sounds like a monster.

@bijouxbroussard Its the underlying disconnect from reality social media can venture that keeps me from being a fan. His popularity was mainly based upon his looks and obviously scripted depth. Years of evil perhaps lent effort to action on the surface in his 15 minutes of fame.
