Outrage in Italy over pornographic website with doctored images of prominent women

A pornographic website that posted doctored photos of a host of high-profile Italian women, including the prime minister, Giorgia
Meloni, and opposition leader, Elly Schlein, has sparked outrage in Italy.

The photos, accompanied by vulgar and sexist captions, were either harvested from personal social media accounts or public sources before being altered and published on the Italian platform, called Phica, which has more than 700,000 subscribers.
