Mexico City: Mexico is seeking compensation from YouTube celebrity MrBeast's production company, accusing it of using images of the country's ancient archaeological sites to advertise a chocolate brand.
A video of the social media star visiting Mayan ruins has been viewed around 60 million times since May 10 on YouTube, where he has 395 million subscribers.
In the video, titled "I Explored 2000 Year Old Ancient Temples," the influencer explores the ancient Mayan cities including Calakmul and Chichen Itza in southeastern Mexico.
"I can't believe the government's letting us do this," he said after entering a pyramid, prompting criticism from several users who complained that MrBeast had access to areas restricted to Mexicans.
On Wednesday, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum requested clarification on the conditions under which the YouTuber was granted access.
