Overview
- Google and Meta acknowledged a copyright violation and took down the Jan. 26 episode from YouTube and Meta’s platforms following Mediaset’s diffida.
- Mediaset said the episode used its proprietary videos and images and had already sought measures to stop Corona from using social platforms to distribute the program.
- YouTube applied a first copyright strike to Corona’s channel, removing multiple videos and warning that additional strikes could lead to tighter limits or channel termination.
- On Jan. 26 a Milan civil judge ordered Corona to remove prior online content about Alfonso Signorini and to refrain from publishing further defamatory or privacy‑violating material.
- Legal actions continue on multiple fronts as Mediaset filed a ricettazione complaint naming Google and Meta, Signorini’s lawyers said prosecutors opened an inquiry into Google entities and will seek similar steps for YouTube, Meta and TikTok, and probes involving Corona and Signorini remain active.
