Italy’s Meloni expresses outrage over an adult website

Saturday, 30 August 2025



MILAN, Aug 29 (Reuters): Italy's Giorgia Meloni expressed outrage on Friday over an adult website that published unauthorised pictures of women, including of the prime minister, amid a national outcry over online misogyny and abuse.
Administrators of the phica.eu website, whose name is a play on a vulgar Italian slang term for female genitalia, took it down on Thursday following widespread condemnation and legal complaints.
"I am disgusted by what has happened, and I want to express my solidarity and closeness to all the women who have been offended, insulted, and violated in their intimacy by the administrators of this forum and its 'users,'" Meloni was quoted as saying by daily Corriere della Sera.
