The Italian sexual photo sharing site wages that were forced to close after a political protest

An Italian website announced the publication of pictures of well -known women, including Prime Minister Georgia Meloni, with a obscene comment, that it was closed after a violent reaction from other policies.

It is called the explicit site VikaA play on the Italian colloquial vagina, now shows a message that it has been closed “with great regret” because of the “poisonous behavior” of some users.

Meloni herself said she was “disgusted” by the site and called for punishing the punishment “with the utmost firmness.”

The removal of Phica comes days after the leadership of celebrity figures is a wave of general anger against the Italian Facebook group called my wife (My wife), where thousands of men apparently shared the intimate photos of their partners without their knowledge.

These photos were published with explicit or even violent comments, with users including former politicians, businessmen and police officers.

Since then, Meta has closed the group “Violation of our adult sexual exploitation policies”.

Vika was a much larger process, and it was said to have about 700,000 users, and was two decades active despite previous complaints.

The so -called VIP section contains images of Italian policies and other prominent personalities, from actresses to influencers, either from public or raised from personal social media accounts.

The photos, including beach footage in swimwear, were changed digitally before being published on albums with titles such as “hot politicians” with other and sexual names, which prompted vulgar comments below.

Alessandra Moretti, a MEP that spoke against the site, says it also guarantees incitement to rape.

She told the BBC: The images were changed and then pushed to the users.

“This was followed by a flood of outrageous comments that not only harm the emotional luxury, but also threatening the safety of many women,” said MEP from the opposition Democratic Party.

I believed that prominent political figures like them were on the duty to take a position and speak with other women being targeted.

“The platforms that incite rape and violence must be closed,” she added. “Violence generates violence and it is time to put an end to it.”

The Phica statement, which was announced, blamed the users who said that they gave the “spirit and the original purpose” of the platform, claiming that it was dedicated to those who wanted to “share their content in a safe environment.”

But before the platform became something, “people wanted to distance themselves, and not be proud of it,” and pledged that all the content will be deleted.

The statement was clarified with images similar to the emojis of tears and ended with the words of “I will see you soon.”

The mailing police in Italy, which deals with electronic crime, confirmed to the BBC that the investigation had been launched.

Vika said that he has always been withheld and reported all kinds of violence and images for minors.

But a petition to close it to Change.org, which collected nearly 170,000 signatures, said that it included pictures of people who were secretly taken in the changing rooms and beauty salons “or was photographed by the hidden Microcames in public baths.”

Previous complaints about my wife The group had not last.

This changed last week when writer Carolina Capria condemned the group in a gold publication. Women who got to know themselves in the pictures and then started speaking.

Police say that they have since flooded reports on these platforms and others.

“It is a frustrating thing to note that in 2025, there are still those who consider it natural and legitimate to trample on the dignity of women and guide her with sexual and dark insults, and hide behind not revealing her identity or a keyboard.”

It also urged women to report any photos shared without agreeing.
