Times<\/a><\/span><span>. The act would require Apple and Google to open up their mobile platforms to app stores owned and operated by other companies \u2014 currently not allowed by the TechGiants. The new regulations aim to prevent large online platforms from abusing their market power, says <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration-skip-ink:none;-webkit-text-decoration-skip:none;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/digital-markets-act-7097402#:~:text=Digital Markets Act (DMA) Key Measures,-The DMA has&text=Messaging services and social media,messaging service, such as Telegram.\" style=\"\">Investopedia<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">, and would place Apple and Google as \u201cgatekeepers,\u201d required to change the rules that govern how apps are distributed across their devices. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">Microsoft is keen to capitalize on the new regulations:<\/span><span style=\"\"> Microsoft Gaming\u2019s chief exec Phil<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> Spencer said that Microsoft\u2019s lack of presence on Apple and Google devices is an \u201cobvious hole in our capability\u201d that would be \u201cpretty trivial to fix.\u201d Microsoft must complete their USD 75 bn acquisition of video gamer, Activision Blizzard, before they can begin to offer Microsoft Xbox and other content from third party partners \u201cacross any screen where somebody would want to play.\u201d Titles like Call of Duty Mobile and Candy Crush Saga could attract players away from Apple and Google marketplaces to an Xbox mobile store. However, Microsoft might need to be patient, as Big Tech companies could appeal the designation of the EU\u2019s DMA, delaying its enforcement beyond its March 2024 deadline.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"><\/p>\n<hr style=\"height:2px;border-width:0;color:gray;background-color:gray\">\n<p><\/span><span style=\"font-weight:700\">Are we entering an era in which social media platforms will be sued for causing mental<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:700\"> health issues?<\/span><span>Schools across the US have filed a host of lawsuits this year against the tech firms behind TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and Snapchat, accusing them of creating a mental health crisis among the country\u2019s youth, the <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration-skip-ink:none;-webkit-text-decoration-skip:none;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/education\/2023\/03\/19\/school-lawsuits-social-media-mental-health\/\" style=\"\">Washington Post<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> reports. The legal action first started in January with Seattle\u2019s public schools district, then snowballed into a string of lawsuits in recent weeks as other districts in California, Florida, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey chimed in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">The allegations?<\/span><span style=\"\"> Suicidal thoughts and depressive symptoms have seen a spike among high<\/span><span> schoolers, one lawsuit contends, citing <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration-skip-ink:none;-webkit-text-decoration-skip:none;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2023\/3\/YRBS_Data-Summary-Trends_Report_2023_508.pdf\" style=\"\">data<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> released last month by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The rise in popularity of social media and the decline in the youth\u2019s mental health coincide precisely, the lawsuit says. The districts hold that social media has resulted in grave cyberbullying incidents, threats that have kept students from going to school, and vandalism \u2014 as in the case of a TikTok challenge that prompted students across the US to flood toilets, shatter mirrors, and steal bathroom supplies. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">The lawsuits are trudging murky waters:<\/span><span style=\"\"> Federal law protects online platforms from facing<\/span><span> liability for what third-party users choose to post, according to the <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration-skip-ink:none;-webkit-text-decoration-skip:none;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/us-supreme-court-technology-seattle-social-media-lawsuits-24adabfb13223a6acb0210b93caf0928\" style=\"\">Associated Press<\/a><\/span><span>.

All of a sudden, an outburst of Mozart\u2019s dissonant opening chord of Don Giovanni, followed by a scream of anguish. When the camera finally brings sound and image together, we are shown the esteemed classical composer Antonio Salieri. The dramatic opening scene of Amadeus, marked by Salieri\u2019s false confession to murder, sets the fictional tone of the following c.160 minutes. Released in 1984, Amadeus \u2014 which earned eight Oscars \u2014 is a film that fabricates a ferocious one-sided rivalry between Mozart and Salieri, who is gripped by the chasm between the divinity of Mozart\u2019s musical abilities and the lack of his own. A blend of drama and dark comedy, the film is packed with historical inaccuracies, such as the depiction of Mozart as a na\u00efve, childlike goofball who is undeservingly bestowed with effortless musical dictations, or Salieri as a moralist turned villain. The two were, in reality, professional yet formidable competitors whose relationship was marked by mutual respect and admiration. Ultimately, the movie departs from history to explore profound universal human issues, like man\u2019s sense of injustice and the pursuit of fame.

Speaking to us this week is Sarah Yousri, creative director and founder of <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration-skip-ink:none;-webkit-text-decoration-skip:none;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pilcrowboutique.com\/\" style=\"\">Pilcrow Boutique Creative Studio<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">I\u2019m Sarah Yousri and I\u2019m the creative director and founder of Pilcrow Boutique Creative<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:700\"> Studio.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> My journey as a designer began while taking an Adobe InDesign class as an undergrad studying Integrated Marketing Communications at AUC. I realized that the class was really in tune with my strengths \u2014 including organization and creativity \u2014 and just sparked a love for design in me. At that point, switching majors would have meant another three years of studying, so I instead decided to teach myself everything I could about the different design programs over one summer. I juggled several jobs, including in marketing, during the rest of my undergraduate studies and, wherever possible, I incorporated design work into the marketing jobs I took on. Once I graduated, I landed a job as an account executive as a social media marketing agency, but I began feeling constrained by social media design, so I pushed for the agency to take on branding projects \u2014 a new branding department I ultimately established and led for two years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">I eventually began to branch out and take on freelance gigs, which is when I created the<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:700\"> name Pilcrow.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> I decided it was time to establish an agency and start building a team in 2019, when Mansour Group approached me to take on Fresh Food Market\u2019s private label, which is when I knew I wasn\u2019t going to be able to do it on my own anymore. Today, Pilcrow has a multi-skilled team of 12 employees that has worked with over 110 clients. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">Pilcrow is a boutique creative studio<\/span><span style=\"\"> that does branding, rebranding, graphic design<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> solutions, UI\/UX design, animation, and 3D design, as well as brand strategy and copywriting. We provide businesses and individuals with very high quality service at very affordable prices, because we believe everyone deserves extraordinary visual representation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">I bootstrapped Pilcrow and built it out of my own personal savings \u2014 I\u2019m the sole<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:700\"> investor in the business and I don\u2019t regret it at all.<\/span><span> However, we\u2019re currently looking into potential <\/span><span>angel<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> investors to support our expansion plan. I think we\u2019re at the point where we need outside investment to grow our business, which is a bit difficult for me because I find it difficult to ask for help, especially when it comes to money [laughs]. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">This year has been quite hectic for us. We\u2019re growing at a very fast pace<\/span><span style=\"\"> and I\u2019ve never<\/span><span> studied entrepreneurship or anything of the sort to prepare me for the business side of things, so it\u2019s been challenging to keep up with everything. We\u2019re currently setting up the foundation of the business in a much more structured way to help prepare <\/span><span>us for<\/span><span> our biggest goal of the year <\/span><span>and exciting next chapter<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">. It\u2019s been challenging, but I\u2019m grateful for the journey and I feel like I\u2019m learning a lot about different areas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">I don\u2019t think exiting my business will ever be an option for me.<\/span><span style=\"\"> I truly and wholeheartedly<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> love my job \u2014 but in a parallel universe, if I were to leave, I would definitely stay on as an employee. I find myself doing more day-to-day operations and less designing myself, which is something I miss doing a lot. I\u2019m still very hands-on in the designing process but I\u2019m more of a spectator now than an actual designer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">To build my business, I gave up more than I had imagined.<\/span><span style=\"\"> I sacrificed my peace of mind,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> certain parts of my lifestyle, and \u2014 most importantly \u2014 what little \u201cme time\u201d I had for myself. I don\u2019t regret it at all, though. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">The best part of the job is how I\u2019ve been able to help businesses of different sizes to<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:700\"> compete on an international level.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> I\u2019ve met many extraordinary people throughout my 12-year career. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">The worst part of the job is all the stress. I never imagined that I could feel this kind of<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:700\"> pressure and stress on a daily basis.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> I try to embrace it, though, because when the worst moments pass, I try to remind myself that I have built something great from a very young age and that everything is happening the way it should. In other words \u2014 I\u2019m embracing the journey. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">Being the founder of a startup is and isn\u2019t a lonely journey.<\/span><span style=\"\"> Running a business is really not<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> easy. I sometimes find myself missing out on things in life that were very much a part of it back when I was a freelancer, but I\u2019ve also met so many people who are going through similar struggles, which helps me realize that I\u2019m not alone in a sense. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">My biggest piece of advice for someone thinking of starting their own business is to go<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:700\"> with the flow and not overthink things.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> And don\u2019t get frustrated when things don\u2019t go according to plan \u2014 the proverb \u201cWe plan, God laughs\u201d is the truest thing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">When I face a difficult problem, I turn to my mentors, my best friends, and my parents.<\/span><span style=\"\"> I<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> used to think I could fix any problem on my own \u2014 and I can if I put my mind to it \u2014 but I\u2019ve learned to not be afraid to ask for help. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">My family had mixed feelings about my choice to launch my own business.<\/span><span style=\"\"> My dad was<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> terrified [laughs]. I don\u2019t think he felt like I had what it takes to run a business, but he\u2019s also not a risk-taker. I remember him trying to scare me out of taking the step, which just drove me to work twice as hard to prove that I could do it. In a twisted way, I\u2019m grateful to him for trying to discourage me. My mother was hesitant but ultimately supportive. She really wanted me to pursue my masters degree abroad, and kept reminding me that once I have my own business, I won\u2019t be able to focus on my studies. But I think that I learn on a daily basis \u2014 just not necessarily in the traditional academic way. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">In another life, I would have probably been a forensic psychologist.<\/span><span style=\"\"> I\u2019m obsessed and <\/span><span>extremely fascinated with true crime and the human psyche. But I also think I would\u2019ve loved to be a veterinarian or a pilot.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/pilcrow-boutique-creative-studio\/\">Pilcrow Boutique Creative Studio<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/sarah-yousri\/\">Sarah Yousri<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/startups\/\">startups<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"583912\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"calendar\">\r\n            \r\n            <div class=\"story__body\">\r\n\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2023\/03\/21\/583912\/\">\r\n                    <div class=\"photo photo--above\">\r\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n\r\n                \n<article id=\"post-583912\" class=\"content-area-description single-story post-583912 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-the-enterprise-entertainment-calendar wpautop entry\">\n\n\t\t\t<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-primary-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-primary-background-color has-background is-style-wide\">\n\n\t\t<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading mt-0 has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color has-normal-font-size\" style=\"padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px\">\n\t\t\t<strong> THE ENTERPRISE ENTERTAINMENT CALENDAR<\/strong>\n\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\n\t<div class=\"entry-content\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700;\">MARCH <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span>23 March (Thursday): First day of Ramadan (TBC).
