Band leader decides to shut down controversial Facebook group, "My Wife," with a following of 30,000 users.
A new Facebook group, named "Meine Frau," has been created, following in the footsteps of the infamous "My Wife" group that was previously removed for violating Facebook's policies against sexual exploitation of adults. The group, with the same name and intentions, was founded by an IT specialist from Turin and claims to be private, but allows comments on photos, raising concerns about bypassing controls.
In the first twenty minutes of its existence, eighty people had already signed up to the group. The primary purpose of the group is to share photographs of women's bodies and body parts, followed by comments, treating women as bodies, not people.
The issue has sparked indignation and mobilization, leading to reports to both Facebook and the Postal Police. The case brings to mind the tragic case of Gisele Pelicot, a French woman who was raped by dozens of men with the complicity of her husband.
Meta, the company that owns Facebook, has stated that they do not allow content that threatens or promotes sexual violence, sexual abuse, or sexual exploitation on their platforms. It is unclear if the women in the photographs are actually the wives of the commentators or not.
Sharing stolen intimate photos, even of one's wife, is considered a crime. Carolina Capria, an author and feminist activist, has shared screenshots of the group's exchanges on her Instagram profile, highlighting the group's objectification of women as a means to establish a hierarchy and measure masculinity.
The removal of the original group, "My Wife," was considered a small victory. However, the new group continues to operate, with dozens and dozens of other similar groups, more or less active, dedicated to the exchange and commenting of women's photographs.
The creator of the new group does not mind appearing with his name, last name, and place of work. The specific individual who founded the newly established group is not identified in the available sources. The new group, named "Meine Frau," is likely created by a member or members continuing the same intentions as the previous group "Mia Moglie."
The issue underscores the need for stricter enforcement of Facebook's policies and a broader conversation about online privacy, consent, and the objectification of women. The removal of these groups is a step in the right direction, but more needs to be done to ensure the safety and dignity of all users on social media platforms.
