An unfortunate sentence contained in one of Chiara Ferragni’s stories rekindles the debate on the overexposure of children through social media.
“Just a minute Leo. Smile then you’re done and you can continue drawing“. A very simple sentence, which is however causing discussion in these last hours. The reason? It is contained in one of the stories published in the past few hours by Chiara Ferragnibefore being deleted and reposted without audio. The sentence in question is addressed to Leone, the son of Ferragni and Fedez, during the rapper’s birthday party.
The reason for the controversy is soon said, because the sentence addressed to Leone, which is not Chiara Ferragni to pronounce but another female voice, raises an enormous, and probably eternal, theme that has to do with overexposure of children that Ferragni and Fedez would do. A theme on which we often ask ourselves and which in this case calls for an interpretation of that sentence that points the finger at the couple for an alleged exploitation of the image of the children, as well as contributing to diminish the spontaneity of the contents published daily in the presence of the children. As if underneath there was a sort of mechanicalness which, connected to that unhappy “then you’re done”, can only raise some perplexity.
For and against
On the other hand, there are those who minimize it, claiming that they do not find anything strange in the sentence itself, probably the object of exploitation and uttered by many parents towards their children when they intend to take a picture. The extent of the controversy only confirms the enormous power of influence with which Ferragni and Fedez are endowed and how a simple audio, certainly unhappy if read in a negative key, manages to raise one of the themes of contemporaneity, which has to do with the publication on social media of contents that include children and minors.
The children on social media, the words of Fedez
On the subject of the overexposure of children through social media, Fedez had spoken very clearly, explaining himself in an interview with Breaking Italy a few months ago: “For me and Chiara, who have chosen a certain type of transparent communication, it would have been stupid to hide the most beautiful thing in our life and in my opinion it would have been stupid. Someone intending to invade our privacy would have been there anyway and in doing so we did so as to avoid carrying Leone around with a blanket on and a more obsessive attention towards us “.
