«The video of the late Tiziana, who committed suicide after her video was released on the Internet. They have been removed. Until now! Have a good time!”. With this sentence to accompany him a video with the images of Tiziana Cantone.
The private videos of this girl from Casalnuovo, in the province of Naples, in 2015 ended up on the net and became among the most clicked on porn sites. She tried, in vain, to have those movies removed. She was 33 when, on September 13, 2016, she was found hanged with a pashmina in the rumpus room of an aunt’s house, where she had moved with her mother.
The mother, Maria Teresa Giglio, has always maintained that it was a murder and not a suicide. In January 2021, a file was reopened at the Naples North Prosecutor’s Office.
The technicians of the American company Tiziana’s mother turned to have managed to have Tiziana’s videos removed from many sites where they had appeared. The latter have also been identified and the removal request in a few hours. The site from which the images originated has its registered office in the United States, but it would have been a German company that uploaded the video.
However, this new story involving Tiziana Cantone is a sign that it is very difficult to make all traces of what circulates on the net disappear. The advice of lawyers and network experts is never to take pictures of me and not to disseminate images. However, the offense does not concern the simple dissemination of images, but this done without consent.
Just after the death of Tiziana Cantone, the update of the law arrived in Italy. In the Criminal Code it was introduced art. 612 ter which punishes the illicit dissemination of sexually explicit images or videos, the so-called revenge porn. The offense is punished with imprisonment from one to six years and a fine from 5 to 15 thousand euros. The difficulty remains in identifying who disseminated the images and tracing the servers, often foreign, where the images or videos are located.
