Gordon Ryan banned from Instagram once again! “The King” is on the receiving end of suspension which he may appeal in the next 30 days. Given his record, though, it is not likely that anything he says will help get him back on Instagram.
Gordon has had more than his fair share of social media account bans and suspensions. In fact, “Gordon Ryan Banned from social media” is a phrase we are accustomed to.
The offense this time is unknown, or at least Ryan hasn’t shared it, but he did seem to be expecting it. During a recent appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast, Ryan said he was “shadow-banned” and that his Instagram closely monitors his activity, removing his stories and posts.
So far, Gordon’s Facebook and Instagram accounts have received bans on multiple occasions, and Ryan stated last year that he was “permabanned” on Facebook: “Every post or comment I make offends someone and I get one 30 day ban after another.”
There was even a petition a few years ago calling out to get Gordon Ryan banned from Instagram due to “promoting violence and hate speech, and harassing other Instagram users”. It only got 14 signatures.
It is not only Gordon that gets social media bans. His original coach, Tom De Blass has also had his fair share of social media blackouts, due to some very opinionated posts which seem to offend other users. Tom just laughed it off, accepting his own shadow-ban.
Trash-talking is a big part of Gordon’s personality, and he is a smart man with a keen sense of humor. That combination often leads to people misunderstanding him and taking him for granted, which in, turn ends up with Gordon Ryan banned from Instagram.
With Zuckerberg now training MMA and BJJ with great dedication, and aware of exactly who Gordon is, it is going to be fun to see if the ban stands… if Zuckerberg is at all aware of it. Joe Rogan did pose some interesting questions to Zuckerberg about his algorithms on the JRE podcast.
Gordon’s account just reached 637 000 followers before the ban. His comment after the latest ban was “Hahaha RIP me”. Gordon has a backup account with over 200.000 followers which he keeps clean.
