The dark side of the web strikes two Democratic Party members: the complaint by Alessandra Moretti and Valeria Campagna

Two Democratic Party members, Alessandra Moretti and Valeria Campagna , have reported being targeted by a porn site that distributed images without their knowledge. The case, which follows the media scandal surrounding the forum known as "My Wife," once again highlights the problem of nonconsensual online pornography and the risks associated with privacy violations online.

Hard sites and stolen images: a growing phenomenon

For years, the website Phica.eu has collected images from social media and television, creating sections dedicated to both public figures and ordinary citizens, though some of these sections have since been closed. MEP Alessandra Moretti and Valeria Campagna, deputy secretary of the Democratic Party in Lazio, discovered that their photographs were being posted on the forum without authorization. This incident follows a well-known trend, such as that of the Facebook group "My Wife," where intimate images of women were being shared and commented on in a sexist and abusive manner by husbands and male users.

Valeria Campagna said she found personal photographs online, both in costume and in public and private settings, accompanied by vulgar and threatening comments. The discussion surrounding the councilor, which began in 2024 with a seemingly neutral message, escalated over time, demonstrating that some of the authors may have known her personally.

I discovered that some of my photos had been posted on an online forum without my consent. Not just swimsuit photos, but moments from my public and private life. Underneath, sexist, vulgar, and violent comments. Some even talked about me in person.

Alessandra Moretti is also ready to denounce the appropriation of images and television clips, edited and distributed without consent to thousands of users. Both emphasized how similar incidents represent manifestations of a culture that legitimizes gender violence and blames the victims rather than the perpetrators.

In the next few hours , I will report the Phica forum site , which took images from my social media without my consent. The comments are frankly unacceptable and obscene, and they offend my dignity as a woman. Unfortunately, I'm not alone, and we must all report these groups of men who continue to act in gangs and with impunity despite the numerous complaints. I'm deeply shocked by what happened, but I believe we must all react together. These sites must be shut down and banned. Enough is enough .

Solidarity and collective commitment against violence

Political figures have called on other women to speak out and report similar abuse , emphasizing that the fight against gender violence concerns both women and men, as the problem stems from predatory male behavior. Institutional figures such as the mayor of Latina, Matilde Celentano, and Simona Mulé of the Women Administrators Committee of ANCI Lazio have expressed their full solidarity with Campagna, condemning the sexist comments and the unauthorized publication of the images.

The story highlights the need for collective action to protect women's dignity and shut down sites that incite violence , promoting respect and safety in social and institutional life.
