Paid advertising on X was suspended in April 2023 following a SAFE Framework assessment. X is currently used only for organic (non-paid) content to communicate policies and public services.

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport has spent a total of £481 since July 2024 on an X Premium Plus subscription.
