Lorenzo Biagiarelli, the influencer who first expressed doubts about the authenticity of the review of the alleged customer who protested the presence of gays and disabled people at a table in the trattoria of Giovanna Pedretti, found dead yesterday, strongly rejects the accusations of 'social hatred' and 'shistorm'.
"I'm sorry that you think that the search for truth can have these consequences," he writes in the story about Ig Biagiarelli. I would like to strongly reject the accusations of 'social hatred' and 'shitstorm' since Mrs. Giovanna, in these two days, has received nothing from the press but praise and attestations of esteem, and only some sparse and tiring attempts to re-establish the truth which, in any case, does not have and would never have had equal strength."
"I am very sorry for the death of Mrs. Giovanna and my thoughts go to her family," Biagiarelli writes, but invites "to reflect on the consequences of the attempt to 're-establish the truth.'" If we were to always fear this epilogue at this point we would have to close everything, newspapers and social media". Writing false things "is dangerous", "tragedies" can happen and responsibility must not be given to those who re-establish the truth, added Selvaggia Lucarelli, also back on social media.
"No one ever poses the problem upstream," Lucarelli continues, "and that is that writing things that are not true can be dangerous, then a tragedy happens (in which obviously no one thinks that the context, life, the past also count) and it is the fault of those who re-establish the truth. In practice, we have reached the point where reporting news is no longer a responsibility. Correcting it does.
Anything but black mirror."
