Overview

• Meta shut the private Facebook group after policy violations on sexual exploitation, with more than 32,000 members implicated.
• The Polizia Postale delivered an informativa to Rome prosecutors with images and screenshots following roughly two to three thousand reports in two days.
• Investigators are evaluating possible crimes including defamation and non‑consensual dissemination of intimate images, which in many cases proceed only after a victim’s formal complaint within six months.
• Women have described betrayal, humiliation and trauma, and advocacy groups say some victims intend to file complaints and are seeking legal help.
• After the takedown, copycat groups and channels surfaced on other platforms such as Telegram, and Meta said it can disable accounts and cooperate with law enforcement.
