delete official page and social profile- Corriere.it

Luigi Di Maio says goodbye to social media. Or at least in part. The foreign minister has deleted (or blacked out) his official page on Facebook. And there is no trace of his profile on TikTok either. Instead, his Twitter and Instagram accounts remained. A choice that comes after the defeat at Politics, which saw Civic Engagement, the new party founded by the former M5S, not reach the 3% quorum useful for accessing Parliament.

There is a little yellow on the farewell: the Facebook page of the Foreign Minister has in fact disappeared from the social network and cannot be reached by searching. Even links to his old posts are currently unavailable. The latest content was published by Di Maio in the aftermath of the disappointing vote of 25 September for him: with a post he admitted the electoral defeat, which saw him excluded from Parliament and civic engagement below the threshold. mystery as to why the page is no longer visible. Parliamentary sources for Civic Engagement assume that the decision to obscure it is due to the negative comments and attacks received after the flop in the election, but this is only a hypothesis. Silence, on the other hand, comes from the minister’s staff, whose Instagram, Twitter and Linkedin accounts are still active.

Di Maio would not be the only one of Civic Engagement to have closed the Facebook page. I just deleted it, for two reasons: the first that I hate Facebook, which I now consider boomer stuff, and the second that I start from scratch, says the outgoing deputy Sergio Battelli, adding: I would have liked to close the page a few years ago .
