Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has expressed her horror about the manipulated photos of herself and other prominent women on an Italian porn site. On Thursday it was announced that Meloni and her sister, among others, have fallen victim to this online crime.
The manipulated images were on the Italian Platform Phica, which had around 700,000 subscribers until the closure on Thursday. The photos zoomed in on body parts or sexual postures were suggested.
Meloni did not see the photos, but calls it “humiliating and filthy” to publish these types of photos of unsuspecting women. She calls on to quickly identify the perpetrators and “to punish as strictly as possible”.
“I am disgusted by what happened and all women who are insulted to express my solidarity and support. They have been violated by the managers and users of this forum in their intimacy,” the Italian Prime Minister told Corriere della Sera . There were photos of Meloni, her sister and opposition leader Elly Schlein, among others, visible on the website.
Meloni calls it “daunting” that in 2025 there are still people who find it normal and acceptable to sexist women sexist. “They hide behind their keyboard.”
It is the second time in a short time that Italy is startled by a large incident with online abuse of women. Last week an Italian Facebook group called Mia Moglie was taken offline. Men shared intimate photos of unsuspecting women for years.
