Eight days after TikTok permanently banned popular influencer Danesh Noshirvan, he has returned to the platform and resumed posting on the same account that was supposedly banned. Noshirvan has a history of being banned and then finding ways to regain access, raising questions about the effectiveness of TikTok's enforcement systems.

Why it matters

This case highlights the challenges platforms like TikTok face in enforcing bans and permanently removing users who violate policies, especially high-profile influencers with large followings. Noshirvan's ability to circumvent the ban undermines TikTok's trust and safety efforts and allows him to continue a pattern of harassment against his targets.

The details

According to the report, TikTok's automated enforcement system still registers Noshirvan's account as permanently banned, but he has somehow regained access and is posting new videos. The ban was reportedly issued after a federal judge sanctioned Noshirvan for 'inciting harassment and intimidation' on his platform. However, Noshirvan has found a way to bypass the ban, potentially through deception, hacking, or assistance from a TikTok employee.

  • On February 1, 2026, TikTok permanently banned Danesh Noshirvan's account.
  • On February 8, 2026, Noshirvan resumed posting on the same banned account.
