Italy shuts down ‘Mia Moglie’ Facebook group for abuse

Mama mia.

Recently closed, an alarming Facebook group in Italy known as “Mia Moglie” (“My Wife”) had amassed over 32,000 male members who exchanged private photos of their wives, girlfriends, and even people they didn’t know — all without consent.

Operating since 2019, the group hosted a variety of images ranging from undressing scenes to private sunbathing moments, with discussions packed with inappropriate remarks and unsettling suggestions.

Authorities finally pulled the plug after more than 2,000 complaints were filed with Meta and local police. 

Countless images had been shared, including those captured during intimate encounters and posted by partners without the women’s awareness.

As reported by CNN, Italy’s Postal Police, responsible for digital law enforcement, launched a criminal investigation that led to the page’s definitive shutdown on August 20.

In a statement that day, Barbara Strappato, deputy director of the Roman Postal Police, said, “All the comments will be filed in our information system.”

She added that the crimes “range from defamation to the dissemination of intimate material without consent.”

Strappato continued, “I admit that I have never seen such disturbing phrases in a social media group before.”

The final post before the page got axed was a not-so-subtle invite to keep the creepiness alive on a new platform — probably Telegram, Strappato said. 

Even though Facebook pulled the plug, thousands of screenshots from the group are likely still circulating elsewhere.

The group’s shadowy admins, whose names remain under wraps, left behind a chilling parting message: “We’ve just created a new private and secure group. Goodbye, and f—k you moralists.”

Before the sick, shameless group (filled with real human men — and not bots — using their actual full names) was finally shuttered, members were tossing around vile instructions like “If she’s shy, take photos secretly” and even “put your hands between her thighs and see if she wakes up,” according to Vice and police reports. 

In an interview with Italian outlet Corriere Della Sera, a woman who discovered her photos had been posted in the group said, “I feel shattered in two. I learned through my sister… some photos had already been passed around on Telegram. I’m afraid this could affect my children.”

The group was finally closed after multiple formal complaints to Meta, sparked by Carolina Capria, a feminist activist and author with a large social media following.

Caprio reported the group to Italy’s Postal Police, as per her Instagram post. 

Meta Italy confirmed the group was yanked for “violating our policies against the sexual exploitation of adults.”

As The Post previously reported, last month, Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni didn’t hold back her disgust over Phica, a porn site that used doctored, fake photos of her and other high-profile women — including her sister Arianna — paired with sexist captions.

The outrage was instant, and the site’s managers yanked the whole platform, blaming its hundreds of thousands of users for breaking the rules.

Italy does have a revenge-porn law, but Meloni warned publication Corriere Della Sera that the problem has evolved: “[The violating distribution] no longer happens just out of ‘revenge,’ and protecting our data and our privacy is increasingly crucial in our times.”

Under this current law, passed in 2019, anyone caught sharing sexually explicit images can face up to six years behind bars.
