Shields stood out rigidly against Andrew Tate’s being banned from a lot of social media platforms. He presented his opinions against Tate’s banishment through tweets, where he implied that there are various other issues and persons who were influencing the youth adversely.

Still, Tate, who asks people to work hard, was being subjected to a ban.
