Brazilian influencer Malévola Alves has vowed to return to social media after her main Instagram account was restricted for promoting betting after Brazil's online ban.
The influencer said she will continue pursuing her ambition of making a living online.
This comes after Brazil’s Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office has also opened an investigation into influencers promoting illegal betting platforms after the ban.
In a statement published through her backup Instagram account, Alves addressed the restriction and assured followers that it would not bring her online career to an end.
“Every account that gets taken down, be certain that I will come back. I have never given up on my dreams, and working and making a living on the internet has always been one of them,” she wrote.
The influencer’s message indicates that she intends to maintain her digital presence even if she loses access to additional profiles.
Alves is known for controversial online content, which has previously attracted public attention and discussion around her social media activity.
The latest Instagram restriction raises questions about the continuity of her audience reach and online activity. For creators whose careers depend on social platforms, losing access to a main account can affect visibility, audience engagement and potential commercial opportunities.
Recently, lots of content creators who built audiences around betting promotion have publicly criticized the Federal Government's decision, which has caused a reaction around social media accounts, with the general public mocking the influencers for ‘crying’ over the ban.
Alves has not announced when she expects to regain access to her main account.
Alves was recently arrested in Egypt and has built a public profile through controversial social media content
