Dante Elizabeth James is a beloved TikTok creator who has spent years using his platform to bring positivity, laughter, and encouragement to countless people. Through openly sharing his journey of alcohol sobriety, he has inspired others with their own personal challenges and struggles. His humor, uplifting spirit, and honesty have changed lives and created a community that looks forward to his content every day.

Despite these positive contributions, TikTok has repeatedly placed false restrictions on his videos, claiming they contain “consumption of drugs, alcohol, tobacco, or other drug use”—content that Dante does not post. For someone who has worked so hard for years to maintain sobriety from alcohol, receiving restrictions for something he actively avoids is not only incorrect—it is insulting and disheartening. These false restrictions have been ongoing for nearly six months, with no resolution from TikTok.

These restrictions have taken a serious toll on Dante’s mental health, causing him to stop posting content—something he loves and something his community deeply misses.

We, the undersigned, call on TikTok to:

1. Immediately review Dante’s account and remove the false restrictions.

2. Resolve this issue directly with Dante so he can return to posting without fear of unjustified punishment.

Dante’s content is a force for good, and he has positively impacted the lives of so many people. His community stands with him and demands that TikTok take action to fix this situation now.

Please sign this petition to show TikTok how important Dante Elizabeth James is to this community—and that unfair treatment of him must end.
