ANSAIndependentCenterFactual 95Objective 9518 hr. agoTikTok has established a dedicated task force and intensified content moderation efforts in Italy ahead of upcoming protests scheduled for the coming weekend. The platform stated that it is using image and audio recognition technologies to remove videos, suspend live streams, and block accounts that violate rules against inciting violence or promoting criminal activity. Additional security measures include blocking search terms related to violence, disabling auto-complete for protest-related queries, and limiting certain monetization features for live streams to prevent economic exploitation. While TikTok maintains that violation rates remain consistent with previous periods, the situation has reignited political debate regarding age restrictions for social media access. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni expressed openness to banning social platforms for users under 14, while Undersecretary Alberto Barachini noted ongoing European discussions about stricter regulations for minors.

Salis criticizes the lack of a widely recognized leader within the broader progressive alliance, suggesting that the centrosinistra has developed strong resistance against achieving victory. She highlights discomfort with the concept of a single leader and notes the challenge of unifying different parties by suppressing their individual identities. These remarks were reportedly viewed negatively by figures associated with the PD, particularly from via del Nazareno, who described them as a 'missed opportunity.'

Poor little Milan! The city needs help. What are Meloni and Schlein doing?The article discusses the Italian government's response to recent security issues in Milan, focusing on Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's approval of an eighth Security Decree within four years of her government. The author critiques this measure as ineffective, noting that adding new crimes to already existing laws does little to address real problems and merely burdens the judiciary. The piece also highlights the disarray within Meloni’s coalition, pointing out contradictions and lack of clarity from her ministers, such as Interior Minister Piantedosi and Transport Minister Salvini. Meanwhile, the article calls for more decisive action from the center-left leader Elly Schlein, particularly regarding the situation in Milan and the need to hold primaries for the next mayor of Milan. The author expresses frustration with internal delays within the Democratic Party and hopes for a resolution that aligns with the expectations of Milan’s electorate.
