Is it just me or did the Butcher Vanity 100 Million announcement tweet get age restricted?

I know this sounds like a weird post, but I'm bringing this up to see if anyone else has noticed this.

At about 1PM EST yesterday, I noticed that the Twitter post announcing Butcher Vanity hitting the 100 million view milestone, got silently and unexpectedly age restricted. For some reason, the post is shown normally in the notifications tab, but when clicking on the post itself, any retweets of it, or replies to it, it just shows the post as age restricted while the retweet quote and/or reply shows normally. Nobody else on Twitter nor the Foleys themselves have appeared to notice or even say anything about this, so that's why i'm bringing it up here.

I'm not sure if the post was age restricted from the start (as it appeared to be normally viewable to me on the night it was posted) or if Twitter mistakenly age restricted it or (if worst case scenario) the Foleys are going to start age restricting their tweets from now on, but still, this is a weird situation that i had to mention here to see if anyone else is experiencing the same problem.

The age restriction problem is not on the Bluesky post or YouTube community tab post of the announcement (and is also not on the song itself), but this is still just awkward and out of the blue for the Foleys to age restrict a tweet announcing one of their biggest milestones, and with the one year anniversary of Static coming up and rawdog getting very close to 1 million views, we're hoping that said tweets or any future tweets don't have the same issue. (I know that the Foleys are meant more for mature audiences, but they don't usually age restrict their tweets.....)

I would show a picture but for some reason Reddit will not let me add a picture of the problem. But if you don't believe me, check for yourself.

UPDATE 5/20/26: The Digital Stars digital livestream announcement does not appear to be age-restricted, so i'm not sure if the Foleys are going to just be age restricting stuff related to the more mature songs (BV, RD, QOV, and SF) from now on or if it was just a glitch on Twitter's end.
