At 18.43, Lino Banfi’s Facebook page “We who love Lino Banfi Official”, the only one recognized as official by the Apulian actor, reappeared on the social network. The day after the letter published by Corriere della Sera in which Banfi himself accepted the removal, on August 13, of the group (27,605 members from all over the world) by the social network, Meta rehabilitated him. Admitting the mistake: the sentences and videos published and contested by their algorithm are not «contrary to community standards regarding incitement to violence; of “inciting hatred” or in contrast with the ban on publishing nude scenes, as stated by the notices sent over time by Meta technology to the Facebook page.
«I am thrilled. They had never listened to me. I wrote and rewrote asking for explanations but I never received an answer”. Speaking is Calogero Vignera, 39, aka Gerry Italia, from Agrigento who moved to Padua (where he works as a social and health worker), creator and administrator of «Noi che Amiamo Lino Banfi Official. «Facebook has disabled the page twice – he says -. The first two years ago, when we had 300,000 followers, and a few days ago, with 27,605 subscribers from all over the world. And why, then? For sharing Lino Banfi’s jokes? But for us he is a Master. And even his double-meaning sentences have rightfully entered the list of comic catchphrases of the Italian comedy ».
Things like “I’ll even crack the nut on his capocollo!” (addressed to Alvaro Vitali in the film «The honorable with the lover under the bed»). Or “What the fuck do I know, not what year sex, they’re rich, okay?” (answering to his nephew: «Uncle Lino, what gender are the turtles?», in «At the sports bar»). Now reappeared in the group after a careful review by Meta and, as admitted by the same, the finding of an error of assessment of the disputed violations. «The politically correct has broken the “skin” a bit. But why must a joke by Lino Banfi necessarily offend or discriminate against someone? – continues Calogero, using the Banfio language -. Since 2017 I have received about fifteen notices of violation of the content moderation policy but I have always made it clear that these are jokes from films by imposing on subscribers a ban on publishing offensive sentences and that they have nothing to do with Banfi’s acting. A scene from “Vieni Avanti Cretino” with Michela Miti stripping naked has been labeled as pornographic but it’s ridiculous! An algorithm is unable to analyze the context or understand the nuances and instead has established that Banfi, master of comedy, is a “bad” and dangerous character. I grew up with his films, I’ve seen them since I was six years old and every time I hear his lines I die laughing. Lin is a friend. Eight years ago he invited me to his house and now he treats me like a son. He is a person of incredible humanity ».
