She believes she has been defamed on Facebook by an unidentifiable social profile and files a complaint. She was assisted by the lawyer Francesco Cristian Schembri, a former provincial councilor and journalist. Zicari, currently a municipal councilor for Totò Cuffaro’s Christian Democracy party, very active on social media, made the matter known in an email: ‘I thank the lawyer Francesco Cristian Schembri for having legally assisted me and supported me in my decision to file a complaint against a profile, which I suspect is fake, for having publicly offended me on Facebook, technically defamed me.
This action also serves to launch an awareness campaign on the correct use of social media: social media are increasingly part of our lives, and it is of fundamental importance to learn to use them correctly and to give the right value to this medium. They must not become tools of bullying, revenge porn, or threats; it is essential to pay due attention to avoid scams. In the event that someone offends our honor, threatens us, or we suspect a scam, it is necessary to report the matter to the competent authorities, such as the postal police.
We must stop tolerating or thinking that it is possible to open a Facebook profile with a false name and offend everyone with impunity or spread false news. Thanks to lawyer Schembri for the sensitivity shown on the subject. We will keep you updated.’”
