I am officially part of @AoIR‘s exec!! Thank you to all who voted and @tomdivon for the encouragement ✨
This is probably also the right place to draw attention to the ongoing @AoIR election. If you're a current member of the association, please vote.

I‘m trying to update the age in the personal settings of a company‘s #instagram account, which was set to the company’s age. Since it’s not full age, the company can’t place any advertisements. Instagram asked me to verify my age by using a passport or driver’s license. All I received was the notification that my age could not be verified and I should try it again in 3 months. Does anyone have similar experience and/or ideas what to do?
