The Tate brothers have filed lawsuits against Meta and TikTok, alleging defamation and illegal removal from the platforms, hurting their revenues.

The Tate brothers have filed two lawsuits in Los Angeles Superior Court, accusing Meta and TikTok of defamation and unlawful deplatforming after their accounts were deleted in 2022 for violating community rules. They claim the deletion was done without notice, severely affecting their business model and revenue streams. The Tate brothers are also implicated in serious allegations of rape and human trafficking in Romania, which they dispute.
