Larz, a social media influencer, was banned from TikTok in 2022.
Larz, whose full name is Larz Larson, is known for his controversial content and stunts on various social media platforms. In 2022, he faced a significant setback when TikTok permanently banned his account due to multiple violations of the platform’s community guidelines. The specific reasons for the ban were not publicly detailed, but it is common for such actions to be taken against accounts that engage in behavior such as harassment, hate speech, or other activities that violate the terms of service. Larz’s ban from TikTok followed previous suspensions and controversies, including an incident where he claimed to have licked a toilet seat in a video as part of a “coronavirus challenge,” which was widely criticized for its insensitivity and potential to spread misinformation during the COVID-19 pandemic. After his ban from TikTok, Larz continued to be active on other social media platforms, where he still maintains a following. His content often sparks debate about the limits of provocative social media content and the responsibilities of influencers.
