“You suck, you are responsible for the death of a person who did nothing“. This is just one of insults received then posted by Selvaggia Lucarelli on his Instagram profile for the case of the death of Giovanna Pedretti, the restaurateur of Sant'Angelo Lodigiano found dead in Lambro after ending up in the controversy surrounding a review of his restaurant deemed false.
“Obviously, if something were to happen (not to me, I repeat, I'm strong), let's blame social media, not the newspapers. Remember!“, is the comment of Lucarelli who, in a long post, announces that he will be “for a while only on Instagram“writing a long series of reflections on what happened, the first of which is: “No one yet has the courage to think about the role of the press in this matter and to ask why irrelevant, even false, information is everywhere on the home pages. We prefer to place blame more generally on ugly and bad social networks, social networks which ultimately are perfect scapegoats for journalism“.
