In the latter case I think we’re getting perilously difficult to prove. I mean, the platform is likely to be the only ones that would have record of that anyway, right?

No it’s pretty easy to send a notified cease and desist letter. And if you’ve got a couple of lawyers on retainer (like most celebrities do) someone in their firm will be happy to follow up with a lawsuit pretty quick.
Thats a good point. If these were paid ads or the platform was paid to promote these posts in any way, I would think the platform wouldn’t be covered.
If the platform was informed and didn’t take any action to remove the posts, that would probably also make a difference.
