2026: civil claim over advertising directed at children
Protagonist not prosecuted — these proceedings are not counted in their formal charges or convictions.
On 14 September 2026 Consumerismo No Profit filed a civil application in Palermo against Me Contro Te S.r.l. It challenged shopping links integrated into children’s entertainment, unclear separation of advertising from content and some handling of minors’ data; the association had also referred issues to the competition authority in June. A first hearing was scheduled for 18 December 2026, and the filing alone proves no wrongdoing.
