Noted podcaster and financial expert, Adam Sosnick tweeted an update on Meta deactivating his Instagram account yesterday. He shared that he has held the Gram account since 2012, and the number of his viewers has reached nearly 100k. According to him, the ban happened once the interview with Andrew Tate and his younger brother Tristan Tate gained traction among followers.
Since it came, over a million have viewed the message, which has received nearly nine hundred retweets. An outpouring of views and standpoints is witnessed, with many sharing their experiences. A few even suggested that it could be a blessing in disguise for Sosnick.

Fans speak out as Adam Sosnick shares his ordeal
Find it unacceptable and unfair, Alessandro Padrin appreciates Twitter’s stand on such instances and laments that people are entrusted to judge what sort of behavior is acceptable and which ones are not, however, not enabled with a nonpartisan framework that might help them to make those judgments. But, at the same length, Padrin also accepts determining what is agreeable and not walking on a thin line. Hence he recommends what the new Twitter head advises – it is wise to look at the law. Finally, he concludes his argument that it’s as evident as it seems, but it’s a lighthouse at night.
It's so wrong. It's so unjust. It's so sad that people, who are given the power to decide what can and what can't be tolerated, are not also given an unbiased framework to make those decisions. Truth is that it's hard to decide what is ok and what is not. @elonmusk is smart when…

The following user, Habitual shared a personal experience. Calling himself a ‘nobody,’ he says that despite his insignificance, ‘they’ shadow banned him from his Facebook and Instagram accounts. As a result, he could not speak freely due to the constraints. Though a big revelation, perhaps as a pun, he requests a chance to check out all the MMA training that Zuckerberg has received.
I’m a nobody and they shadow banned me on FB and instagram.
I couldn’t say anything without restrictions. Huge eye opener for me.
I Would LOVE the opportunity to test all the MMA training zucks been doing. 😈— Habitual (@HabitualBuilder) June 21, 2023
However, David Risley appears optimistic, saying it might prove a ‘false positive.’ The day before yesterday, the same thing happened to him. However, he found it restored after a few hours of appeal.
It may well be a false positive. Same thing happened to me yesterday. I appealed it and it came back online in a few hours.

Dean contends that what happened to Sosnick results from pursuing honesty and open dialogue. But the tide is turning, and Dean says that the podcaster might not even regret being out of the platform since he will soon find many like-minded individuals joining Twitter.
That’s what you get for seeking the truth and valuing free speech . There is a shift happening tho, you won’t miss that platform as most like minded people are moving here and rumble .

Chris Johnston clarifies that while he is unaware of the precise details of Sosnick’s ban, he remains doubtful about anything severe happening at his end. According to him, the wise ones should move out of the ‘censorship under the guise of moderation’ platforms. Once more prominent figures speak out, the general public will follow suit.
Not sure of the details but I doubt anything serious transpired on your account. It’s time that the sensible amongst us move off the ‘censorship under the guise of moderation’ platforms. The rest of the public will follow once more and more bigger voices lead the way.

Incidentally, Patrick Bet-David tweeted last month on Sosnick’s account being down and requested immediate re-activation of @sostalksmoney.
Tristan Tate too has an opinion
Incidentally, Tristan Tate also joined the crowd. He sought an apology for Sosnick’s troubles and wondered why someone would act like this.
Sorry brother … I have no idea what’s wrong with these people.
