ASA declares a gambling tweet provocative towards under 18s

Ladbrokes' tweet was found to have broken UK laws prohibiting appealing to minors under the age of 18 by the Advertising Standards Authority. Following Jake Paul's loss to Tommy Fury, Ladbrokes originally tweeted a picture of the former YouTube sensation turned boxer. Paul gained notoriety by creating videos for a young audience on YouTube, and he now has a sizable social media following. The ASA has determined that the initial post broke UK laws.
 
Since it had been established that Ladbroke initial tweet contradict the Advertising Standards Authority, Ladbroke should be made to pay the fines to ASA in UK.
One thing I like about the western world is that no person or authority is bigger than established laws of the land.
