Twitter, now known as X, believed the ad did not breach any of their current policies and said they had not received any complaints in relation to it. Although figures for under-18 followers on TikTok and Facebook were not available, of his 1.6 million Instagram followers, 5 per cent were registered as under 18, which amounted to 80,000 users, while he had more than 55,000 under 18 followers on Twitter/X.
