Matteo Salvini, a member of the Italian Parliament has been banned from Facebook. Upset by this outcome, he raised the issue in the Italian Parliament asking the minister of telecommunications to do a background check on Facebook (sic), asking who determines the bans, why, where are Facebook HQs and the PR persons, how many “acts of censorships” have been done, etc (sic)

Salvini hypothesizes that he was banned because he was surfing FB on his laptop for more than 5 hours while the opposition was speaking in the Parliament. He was “killing time”, in his own words. (sic)

Salvini, who does not even hold a degree, was surprised that the automated answer from Facebook was written in English.

Facebook is a private enterprise and has the full right to ban anyone without explanation. It’s written in their terms of use.

This moron fails to understand the basics of how things work with data on 3rd parties software. I am sure FB banned his apparent stupidity.

Repubblica, Italy’s most widespread newspaper, dedicates an article to this non-issue, reinvigorating its leadership as best news-toilet.

I am translating and relaying this nonsense.

ps
Salvini’s website has a 1997 table-driven design.

“A conflict of interests exists when a person takes care of its own interests against the interests of the community. If, by doing the interests of the community, I’m also doing MY OWN interests because I am one of the community… this is not a conflict of interests.”

Silvio Berlusconi, current Italian Prime Minister, owner of three major nation-wide analogue TV stations, many digital TV channels, radio stations, one nation-spread newspaper, numerous magazines, advertisement agencies, publishing companies (big ones like Mondadori), a major insurance and banking company (Mediolanum), one football team, countless real estate properties, one major film production company (Medusa), legions of whores placed in his own TV programs, and who knows what the fuck else.

I’m so ashamed of having such a dumb ass prime minister. He is so provincial and uneducated despite his 72 years. Italians were talking crap about Bush, yet we accept to be ruled by this pathetic piece of shit.

Ascoltare i discorsi ispirati di Obama e poi ascoltare le stronzate di Berlusconi o le pappette lessate di Veltroni è qualcosa di veramente deprimente. In Italia non possiamo nemmeno scegliere l’uomo quando votiamo. Se anche ci fosse un Obama in Italia, non avrebbe nessuna speranza, nessun mezzo per affermarsi. Che tristezza. E il mondo ride di noi.

Di Pietro: “le intercettazioni ci fanno capire che al governo, più che degli statisti, abbiamo dei magnaccia.”
Berlusconi: “i giudici sono una metastasi della nostra democrazia.”

La prima affermazione si basa su elementi tangibili (intercettazioni), la seconda su opinioni di parte (gratuite).

Inoltre: la seconda affermazione aizza i cittadini contro il potere giudiziario dello Stato. Per quanto ne so io, una tale cosa è oggettivamente sovversiva, soprattutto se espressa dalla più alta carica del Paese. E’ incredibile come il popolo italiano sia diventato insensibile a tale impunità.

April 19: Repubblica, the biggest Italian online newspaper, didn’t think this intimidation by Italy’s future prime minister was too wrong: in fact it appeared at mid page, next to a pair of boobs. (A pretty nice pair, I might say.) At least I know which piece of news I’m gonna click!
