  SPEAKER_00: So I can't access my Instagram.
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_00: There is a blip by meta in the verification system.
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_00: I can get inside through the business meta suite, but it has very limited tools.
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to publish a post in which I give out my contact details so

  SPEAKER_00: that my community knows where they can find me and why I've disappeared.

  SPEAKER_00: For now, I'm doubling down on Substack.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_00: And that's all right.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_00: But I was wondering,
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_00: since you know my marketing well,
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_00: Elphine and I go way back, what your thoughts on my strategy should be?
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_00: My brand is very visual.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_00: And for my retreat promotion, it makes sense to have pictures and videos.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_00: So you see, guys, you, I mean, ladies, you've heard these horror stories already.
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_00: From other people.
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_00: And it happens in our very own circle that,
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: if you don't know much about Elfin's business or if you don't know her
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_00: because maybe you're watching this and you're not in the Telegram group
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_00: or something, Elfin has been running All About Italian since 2016.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_00: So it's 10 years of creating content,
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_00: curating content on her Instagram and having this Good amount of followers,
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_00: this community that she's really built and put her heart into over the years,
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_00: building this brand as well, you know, around all about Italian.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I haven't been on social media in a little over two years,
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_00: but I'm pretty sure that you remain consistent with the image of,
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_00: I remember her posting stories,
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_00: drinking coffee, I think almost daily, her walks, sunsets, things like that.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_00: So it's all these videos or this content,
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_00: these pictures were very much doing the work of Inspiring people to then listen
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_00: to what she had to say or her message or of how she would,
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_00: the whole story of learning Italian in a different way,
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_00: dolcemente,
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_00: like she says,
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_00: you know, when you have the visual first, then you're inspired by that to...
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_00: Put your ear and try to, what does this person have to say?
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_00: It
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_00: sounds, it seems, it feels, you have the feeling before you actually give your attention.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_00: So that has been the way, the strategy on her social media account, on Instagram.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_00: And it's worked beautifully.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_00: The problem now is that Meta has decided that for some obscure reason,
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_00: her account is no longer or isn't in alignment with their jurisdiction or whatever.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not so sure, Elfin,
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_00: you explained a bit in the group what had happened,
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_00: but basically they decided this is not okay and so we're going to limit access
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_00: to your account.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_00: And so she's no longer able to access her information.
