"X accounts must meet certain criteria in order to be eligible to participate in X Ads and use our suite of advertising products. Learn about common reasons why accounts may be ineligible to advertise, along with steps on how to become eligible in the future.— Excerpt from X's X Ads Policies
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Account eligibility and suspension provisions may engage consumer protection frameworks where advertisers have pre-paid for campaigns that are then suspended; in the EU, the Digital Services Act requires platforms to provide a statement of reasons for content moderation decisions and access to an internal complaint handling mechanism. The EU Digital Markets Act may also impose additional obligations on X as a gatekeeper platform. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The absence of defined procedural guarantees for the eligibility review process creates potential disputes over pre-paid campaign value if accounts are suspended mid-campaign. For advertisers managing significant ad spend on X, the platform's discretionary enforcement authority represents a material operational dependency risk. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU advertisers benefit from DSA procedural requirements that may require X to provide more detailed reasons for eligibility decisions and access to appeal mechanisms. U.S. advertisers do not have equivalent statutory protections for platform access decisions. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Advertisers should review insertion orders and master service agreements with X to determine what remedies, if any, exist for mid-campaign suspension. Media buying agreements should address contingency planning for platform access interruptions. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Advertisers should periodically review their compliance with X Ads eligibility criteria, particularly following policy updates, to proactively identify any conditions that might affect their continued access to the platform.
