Dear supporters,
It is well past time that YouTube stops allowing children to be recruited into Andrew Tate's The Real World. I have emailed a number of executives at YouTube and their parent company Google to urge them to take action. I will attach my email to be used as a template if you wish.
The following executives can be emailed:
- Sundar Pichai - Google CEO [REDACTED]
- Neal Mohan - YouTube CEO [REDACTED]
- Philipp Schindler - Google CBO [REDACTED]
- Tom Simpson - Senior legal counsel YouTube [REDACTED]
Dear Google and YouTube executives,
I am writing to express the grave concern held by many members of the public about YouTube and Google allowing their platforms to be used for recruitment into Andrew Tate's programs The Real World, Hustlers University and The War Room. I am also reaching out as a courtesy as I am aware of some upcoming media stories on this matter.
I should also direct you to this petition with 20,695 signatures from members of the public who are urging Google and Apple to take action to protect our women and children.

In September, Google made the commendable move to remove The Real World from its Playstore. This was following concern from myself and my campaign, Tim Hume from Vice news who was reporting on the matter, and Matthew Jury from the law firm McCue Jury & Partners who looked over my evidence in great detail and determined that The Real World meets the criteria to be investigated as an illegal pyramid scheme.
Unfortunately there seems to be a disconnect from this decision made by Google and their partners at YouTube. There are countless videos on the platform with promotion for The Real World and Tate's other program, and most alarmingly they nearly all have affiliate links for new members to join. This affiliate recruitment is where this program becomes illegal according to experts, as the content inside the program is very limited and low effort. As well as the majority of the promotion which is around the get rich quick nature of the scheme. It is clear that a scheme of this nature violate YouTubes own community guidelines.
The most concerning nature about The Real World is the target demographic. The majority of the members and the target of the promotion are under 18 years of age. This can be quickly found if you look at one of the many promotional channels for the program which can be found by searching 'the real world".
This program is horrendously exploiting young boys. They are worked for up to 16 hours a day producing content to promote Tate and the program. Andrew Tate is still being allowed to exploit children on your platforms and promote his toxic ideology to an incredibly young audience.
It is important that you are all made aware of the fact that these programs are still being allowed to be advertised on the Google search engines.
There are countless vulnerable boys and young men who are being solicited into these programs via your platform. As well as preserving the image of Google and YouTube, you have the power to do the world of good by doing the following:
- Remove all videos promoting The Real World, Hustlers University or The War Room
- Remove any videos or channels with affiliate links for these programs
- Remove any channels dedicated to recruiting into these programs (of which there are many)
Please do the right thing for our women and young children.
Kind Regards, XXXXXXXX
