news buffalo depopulate more and more on the web. But for the president of Antitrust, Giovanni Pitruzzella, this “threat of democracy” you can’t stop it. How? Smascherandole thanks to the vigilance of a network of agencies and the european public, to entrust the task of setting rules to curb the wild west on the net. The proposal advanced by Pitruzzella, in an interview to the Financial Times has sparked a strong arm of iron at a distance with Beppe Grillo, who yesterday took on his blog the role of defender of the autonomy of the web by combining the number one of the Authority at the Gentiloni and Renzi, defined as “the new inquisitors of the web”, desirous of “of a court to con trol and condemn those who scratch”.
One of the fake news, especially after the triumph in the elections to the Usa, Trump, has sparked a strong debate overseas arrived then also in Italy, amplified after the rejection of the referendum. The objective of the Pitruzzella is to fight against the publication of false news. And for smascherarle the most effective way, according to the president of the competition authority, is to rely on the States: users would continue “to use a free Internet”, but would benefit from an entity, the “third”, independent from the government, and “ready to intervene quickly if the public interest is threatened”. “The post-truth – is the central thesis of the Pitruzzella – is one of the drivers of populism and is a threat to our democracies.” A minefield to the control of the network, which infuriates Grillo: “they Want to make a beautiful tribunal of the inquisition, controlled by the parties of the government, that d ecides what is true and what is false”. An accusation to which Pitruzzella yesterday evening, she replied, making it clear that his proposal is not “aimed at creating forms of censorship, but to strengthen the protection of rights in the network”. Against Grillo has lashed out also the chairman of the Pd, Matteo Orfini: “Dear Beppe Grillo. No one is attacking the network. We attack the scoundrels that the flood of hoaxes and lies. By the way, know any?”.
In the past few weeks by the president of the Chamber, Laura Boldrini, to the head of State Sergio Mattarella, the Italian president Giorgio Napolitano up to the same premier all have expressed their worries about the climate, violent and uncontrolled, which develops on the network. But for Grillo, the attacks hide in reality only the fear of having to come to terms with the judgment of the citizens: “The disguised moral – warns former comedian – they are used to tv, where if you go with a ballot false, and the journalists believe it, but if you do it on the web citizens, I say that you are a cazzari, do not be angry”. With his post, which closes with a warning: “This blog will never cease to write and the Network does not stop with the court”.
On the drift of the debate that populates mainly the social network has also been expressed to the minister of Justice, Andrea Orlando, who has proposed their “accountability in contrast to the propaganda of hate”, asking for “removal of those contents that celebrate violent behavior or forms of discrimination”. In disagreement to the secretary of state with charge of Communications Antonello Giacomelli: “The millions of citizens who daily use Facebook or Youtube, they know very well how they work, and I do not think would accept the idea that someone previously decided what to publish and what to censor”.
