"I want to reassure everyone: I will not campaign with fasces, Roman greetings and fezzes. However, I find it unacceptable that Facebook closes my personal profile just because my surname is Mussolini. Yesterday I was blocked until the 11 day of April, even though I didn't write anything".
This is stated in a note Caio Giulio Cesare Mussolini, candidate of the Brothers of Italy in the Southern Circumscription of Rome.
"After a day of free insult against my person and my family. And if Facebook's policy is to allow upside-down photos, insults, death threats and assaults, and at the same time sanction a person just for his surname, then we're terribly put. The only one discriminated against is me. Facebook acts as a social center. It is unacceptable. I'm evaluating with my lawyers whether to start a legal action"Concludes Caio Giulio Cesare Mussolini.
The president of Fdi intervenes on the matter, Giorgia Meloni. "After the announcement of the candidacy with the Brothers of Italy, Caio Mussolini was filled with insults and threats on social media by the self-styled democrats. And instead of blocking these keyboard bullies, Facebook has seen fit to block Caio for his surname. The dictatorship of single thought is underway friends ...”Writes Meloni on Facebook.
It also makes itself felt Rachele Mussolini, municipal councilor of the civic list Con Giorgia and vice president of the Control, Guarantee and Transparency Commission of Roma Capitale: “I want to express full solidarity to my cousin, Caio, a FDI candidate at the European Championships, who was unjustly banned from Facebook yesterday. He too, like all Mussolini, found himself being 'persecuted' by the thought police signed by Zuckerberg who, for no reason, decided to suspend his account, but he was careful not to do the same with whom, besides having insulted him, he made heavy death threats against him".
"I find this to be shameful, undemocratic and politically incorrect: I am indignant and embittered by the discriminatory attitude that the platform continues to adopt towards members of my family, as well as towards me. All this is no longer acceptable, just as it is not underestimating threats expressed clearly and from which distances must be taken, with rigor and immediacy. Otherwise one becomes conniving and co-responsible”Concludes Rachele Mussolini.
