Signorini case: Fabrizio Corona’s social media profiles removed

Milan, 3 February (LaPresse) – Fabrizio Corona’s social media profiles have been removed. This was confirmed to LaPresse by his long-standing solicitor, Ivano Chiesa. “They have been blocked, closed and suspended, both Instagram and “Falsissimo”. I spoke to Fabrizio and he told me he had received notifications from Meta about the suspension of his accounts for copyright infringement. I imagine it’s related to Mediaset’s request,‘ said the lawyer. ’I can only add,‘ continued Chiesa, ’that people stop me in the street to tell me to keep going. It will be up to the people to judge the democratic nature of all this.” According to reports, the decision by Google, the Mountain View giant that also owns YouTube and TikTok, to block the former celebrity agent’s social media channels is the result of a combination of lawsuits filed by Mediaset for aggravated defamation and receiving stolen goods, which led the Milan Public Prosecutor’s Office to place senior executives of Google Ireland and Google Italy under investigation, and warnings for copyright infringement.
